                If *with_dserver* parameter is set to False (default), this
                call will only register the given dev_info(s). You should include
                in the list of dev_info an entry to the usually hidden **DServer**
                device.

                If *with_dserver* parameter is set to True, the call will add an
                additional **DServer** device if it is not included in the
                *dev_info* parameter.

            Example using *with_dserver=True*::

                dev_info1 = DbDevInfo()
                dev_info1.name = 'my/own/device'
                dev_info1._class = 'MyDevice'
                dev_info1.server = 'MyServer/test'
                db.add_server(dev_info1.server, dev_info, with_dserver=True)

            Same example using *with_dserver=False*::

                dev_info1 = DbDevInfo()
                dev_info1.name = 'my/own/device'
                dev_info1._class = 'MyDevice'
                dev_info1.server = 'MyServer/test'

                dev_info1.name = 'dserver/' + dev_info1.server
