+        </summary>
+        <description>
+          It is now possible for an unprivileged libvirtd to make use
+          of tap and macvtap devices that were previously created by
+          some other entity. This is done by setting
+          <code>managed='no'</code> along with the device name in the
+          <code>target</code> subelement of <code>&lt;interface
+          type='ethernet'&gt;</code>.
