+
+  <aggregation> is an optional attributes to show max number that the
+  instance resources of [<type-id>] can be aggregated to be assigned
+  for one mdev device. No <aggregation> attribute means driver doesn't
+  support to aggregate instance resoures for one mdev device.

+  Set number of instances by appending "aggregate=N" parameter for
+  create attribute. By default without "aggregate=N" parameter it
+  will create one instance as normal.
