+   :since:`Since 9.2.0` (QEMU driver only), devices with type "virtio" have an
+   optional ``blob`` attribute that can be set to "on" or "off". Setting
+   ``blob`` to "on" will enable the use of blob resources in the device. This

    :since:`Since 5.9.0` , the ``model`` element may also have an optional
    ``resolution`` sub-element. The ``resolution`` element has attributes ``x``
    and ``y`` to set the minimum resolution for the video device. This
