+        </summary>
+        <description>
+          A new PCI hostdev address type 'unassigned' is introduced,
+          giving users the option to choose which PCI hostdevs
+          within the same IOMMU group will not be assigned to the
+          guest. After this change, all PCI hostdevs of the same IOMMU
+          must be declared in the domain XML. Hostdevs that shouldn't
+          be used by the guest can be classified as
+          <code>address type='unassigned'</code>. Forcing all IOMMU
+          hostdevs to be declared makes the user aware of what will
+          be detached from the host, and this new address type gives
+          the user an extra layer of access control of hardware
+          resources, denying guest access to PCI hostdevs that
+          it shouldn't have access to.
