* **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``.
+
* **Improvements**
* **Bug fixes**
