+        </summary>
+        <description>
+          When pcie-root-ports are added to pcie-root in order to
+          provide a place to connect PCI Express endpoint devices,
+          libvirt now aggregates multiple root-ports together onto the
+          same slot (up to 8 per slot) in order to conserve
+          slots. Using this method, it's possible to connect more than
+          200 endpoint devices to a guest that uses PCIe without
+          requiring setup of any PCIe switches.
