This also changes the command line switch to be --add-device and the
config directive is set to add_device. This was chosen as device= in the
config file seems too generic and not quite as consistent with other
directives (i.e. drivers/add_drivers)
The --device command line is still supported but it should be considered
deprecated in favour of --add-device.
