Saying what part of the file is being updated is more useful than
counting the changes. I've changed the commit summary to:
docs: formatdomain: update hostdev interface section a bit
On a Thursday in 2022, Yalan Zhang wrote:
Update the default "driver" value for hostdev interface
since
the default is not "KVM" anymore(refer to "Host device
asssignment" part and by test results). And update the mac
address in one xml example.

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

``<driver>``

+1.1.3` (prior to that the default was always "kvm").
It seems the whole section could use a rewrite with VFIO in mind, but
this change at least gets rid of the incorrect claims.
