Description of problem:
Even though downstream libvirt has gained support for multiple devices, the docs doesn't reflect that. Debugging the issue led to the following upstream commit:
commit e396de03f31d87f3e81c7820739951d50367ddb8
Author: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn>

docs: Distribute subsite.xsl
So, I've ran into very interesting problem lately. When doing the
following, I've encountered an error:
libvirt.git $ make dist && tar -xJf libvirt-2.2.0.tar.xz && \
cd libvirt-2.2.0 && ./configure && \
rm docs/formatdomain.html && make -C docs
make: Entering directory 'docs'
make: *** No rule to make target 'formatdomain.html', needed by 'web'. Stop.
make: Leaving directory 'docs'
I had no idea what was going on, so I've nailed down the commit
that "broke it" via running git-bisect. It was this one:
7659bd9221b9dd1cdf. But that shed no more light until I realized
that the commit might actually just exposed a problem we had. And
guess what - I've nailed it down. Of course we are not
distributing subsite.xsl that's why make prints error message.
Very misleading one I must say.

However, in order to fix the issue in downstream package, we need a bug too.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-2.0.0-4.el7
How reproducible:
100 %
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install latest libvirt
2. Check that a feature is there and works (e.g. iommu device - bug 1235581)
3. Observe missing no reference to the feature in libvirt-docs
Actual results:
IOMMU device is not mentioned in libvirt-docs.
Expected results:
IOMMU device is mentioned in libvirt-docs.
Additional info:
Verified version :
libvirt-2.0.0-6.el7
I can reproduce and verify it like following :
1. Install libvirt-2.0.0-4.el7, check there is no IOMMU related info in doc
# rpm -q libvirt-docs
libvirt-docs-2.0.0-4.el7.x86_64
# cat /usr/share/doc/libvirt-docs-2.0.0/html/formatdomain.html | grep IOMMU
2. Install libvirt-2.0.0-6.el7, check there is information about IOMMU.
# rpm -q libvirt-docs
libvirt-docs-2.0.0-6.el7.x86_64
# cat /usr/share/doc/libvirt-docs-2.0.0/html/formatdomain.html | grep IOMMU
<a href="#elementsIommu">IOMMU devices</a>
<a name="elementsIommu" shape="rect" id="elementsIommu">IOMMU devices</a>
The <code>iommu</code> element can be used to add an IOMMU device.
