+# Notes:
+# 1. For detailed information about this command, please refer to the
+#    'docs/qdev-device-use.txt' file.
+#
+# 2. It's possible to list device properties by running QEMU with the
+#    "-device DEVICE,help" command-line argument, where DEVICE is the
+#    device's name
+#
+# Example:
+#
+# -> { "execute": "device_add",
+#      "arguments": { "driver": "e1000", "id": "net1",
+#                     "bus": "pci.0",
+#                     "mac": "52:54:00:12:34:56" } }
+# <- { "return": {} }
+#
+# TODO This command effectively bypasses QAPI completely due to its
+# "additional arguments" business.  It shouldn't have been added to
+# the schema in this form.  It should be qapified properly, or
+# replaced by a properly qapified command.
+#
+# Since: 0.13
+##
+{ 'command': 'device_add',
+  'data': {'driver': 'str', 'id': 'str'},
+  'gen': false } # so we can get the additional arguments
