Adding the device to the xml for an inactive domain is fine by me

like to ensure that if the domain is active and the device is not
hotpluggable, we throw a failure. Without that, there isn't any way to
determine that attachDevice on the active domain did anything
immediately useful.
But there's then also no way to attach a device for after a reboot. The
interfaces have messed up the idea of runtime versus temporary versus
permanent changes, and I think we have to muddle along as best we can...
