* New features
* qemu: basic support for use of "VFIO variant" drivers
A VFIO variant driver is a device-specific driver that can
be used in place of the generic vfio-pci driver, and provides
extra functionality to support things like live migration of
guests with vfio-assigned devices. It can currently be used by:
1) setting ``managed='no'`` in the XML configuration for the device
2) pre-binding the variant driver using the ``--driver`` option of
``virsh nodedev-detach``.
* Bug fixes
* qemu: Various fixes to firmware selection
The changes made to firmware selection in libvirt 9.2.0 have unfortunately
introduced a number of regressions. All known issues in this area have now
been resolved.
Enjoy.
