docs: document managed=yes of hostdev passthrough
Clarify some of the effects of managed passthrough <hostdev> devices; with recent changes (commit d093547), a nodedev-reattach is only needed to pair up to an explicit nodedev-dettach (but beware that older virt-manager has a bug where it uses explicit nodedev-dettach under the hood when using the gui to hotplug a hostdev device). * docs/formatdomain.html.in: Mention reattach. * tools/virsh.pod (nodedev): Mention managed mode.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
