assignment (VFIO is a new method of device assignment that is compatible with
UEFI Secure Boot), a type='hostdev' interface can have an optional ``driver``
sub-element with a ``name`` attribute set to "vfio". To use legacy KVM device
-assignment you can set ``name`` to "kvm" (or simply omit the ``<driver>``
-element, since "kvm" is currently the default). :since:`Since 1.0.5 (QEMU and
-KVM only, requires kernel 3.6 or newer)`
+assignment you can set ``name`` to "kvm" (the default is "vfio" on systems
+where the VFIO driver is available, and "kvm" on older systems. :since:`Since
+1.1.3` (prior to that the default was always "kvm").
Note that this "intelligent passthrough" of network devices is very similar to
the functionality of a standard <hostdev> device, the difference being that this
