The instance will remain to be assigned by the hotplug
scripts. In the old-style of VM configuration file one could still pass
it as parameter, but its ignored. I rather not have it passed in as a parameter
by the Xen-API, either. From what I can see a getter for it is not useful,
either, since I want the instance number to be hidden from management software.
The instance field should then also be removed from
the documentation - I forgot that.
