+ new PCI hostdev address type: unassigned
+ </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.
