Hi,

seat: kbd+mouse+display adapter.
multiseat: When you have multiple of them on a single machine. When
configured properly logind will show a login screen on each seat.
why a pci bridge: grouping all devices belonging to a seat by placing
them all below a pci bridge simplifies guest configuration (instead of a
list of devices you'll only need to say "this bridge and all devices
underneath it").
why a new pci bridge device: this allows to make the guest-side seat
configuration automatic with a udev rule.
more details: see docs/multiseat.txt
cheers,
Gerd
