Research direction
Start with the TODO in bin/propolis-server/src/lib/server.rs at instance_ensure, then review the issue's hotplug and runtime backend-parameter use cases. Done means callers can modify a running instance's devices and backends, including sending a replacement VolumeConstructionRequest to Crucible.
