+- Hotplug support. Introduce new option --hotplug to gnt-instance modify
+  so that disk and NIC modifications take effect without the need of actual
+  reboot. This feature is currently supported only for KVM hypervisor with
+  version greater than 1.0.

   to always require authentication, ``--require-authentication``. It can
