In managed mode, the configured device will be automatically detached 
from the host OS drivers when the guest is started, and then re-attached 
when the guest shuts down. In unmanaged mode, the device must be 
explicit detached ahead of booting the guest. The guest will refuse to 
start if the device is still attached to the host OS.
