I found that in the case of --cache '' vshCommandOptString returns 0,
with cache(3rd parameter) unchanged. So can we safely ignore value or do
I miss something?
This v2 also adds another new option, --pciaddress.

Subject: [PATCH] add --cache, --serial, --sharable and --pciaddress options
for attach-disk
This add three options for virsh command attach-disk.
--cache option allows user to specify cache mode of disk device
from virsh command line when attaching a disk device.
--serial option allows user to specify serial string of disk device
from virsh command line when attaching a disk device.
--sharable option allows user to specify whether the disk device is
sharable between domains when attaching a disk device from virsh
command line.
--pciaddress option allows user to specify pci address of disk
controller when attaching a disk device.
"--pciaddress" would only be useful for certain types of disks
which are directly attached to the PCI bus. it wouldn't work
for IDE, SCSI or USB. IMHO we should have a more general
'--address' argument which takes a formatted string
'--address pci:1.2.3.4'
'--address ide:1.2'
'--address scsi:1.2.3'
etc,
Daniel
