Only devices that are currently in use by a guest (activePCIHostdevs), or that libvirt is in the process of detaching from the guest + vfio and rebinding to the device's host driver (inactivePCIHostdevs) are on either list of PCI devices maintained by libvirt. Once a device is completely detached from the guest and (if "managed='yes'" was set in the XML config) re-binded to the natural host driver for the device, it is removed from the list and can be used elsewhere.
