Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, virtio-serial and balloon devices were treated as unmanaged devices on Windows virtual machines. As a result, the addresses of the virtio-serial and balloon devices changed every time a virtual machine was started and users were asked to install drivers again. With this update, virtio-serial and balloon devices are now managed devices. Users are no longer asked to install drivers for the virtio-serial and balloon devices every time a Windows virtual machine is started.

Description Michal Skrivanek 2013-11-08 10:46:02 UTC 
those devices should be managed in order to keep their PCI addresses fixed between VM runs. Otherwise that can trigger driver updates (and eventualy windows reboot) or other issues with the installed sw

ATM the problem shows up only when a new device is added or removed
