+This function is used to add additional options to the
+guest kernel command line.
+
+The default is C<NULL> unless overridden by setting
+C<LIBGUESTFS_APPEND> environment variable.
+
+The string C<append> is stashed in the libguestfs handle, so the caller
+must make sure it remains valid for the lifetime of the handle.
+
+Setting C<append> to C<NULL> means I<no> additional options
+are passed (libguestfs always adds a few of its own).
