+        </summary>
+        <description>
+          A new PCI hostdev address type 'unassigned' is introduced. An
+          unassigned PCI hostdev behaves like any regular PCI hostdev
+          inside Libvirt, but it is not usable by the guest. This gives
+          the user a new option to manage the binding of PCI devices
+          via Libvirt, declaring PCI hostdevs in the domain XML
+          but allowing just a subset of them to be assigned to the
+          guest.
