+      <dd>For PCI hostdevs, <code><address type='unassigned'/></code>
+        allows the admin to include a PCI hostdev in the domain XML definition,
+        without making it available for the guest. This allows for configurations
+        in which Libvirt manages the device as a regular PCI hostdev,
+        regardless of whether the guest will have access to it. This is
+        an alternative to scenarios in which the admin might be compelled to use
+        an ACS patch to remove the device from the guest while Libvirt
+        retains control of the PCI device.
+        <code><address type='unassigned'/></code> is an invalid address
+        type for all other device types.
