The overall flow of the page is adjusted so that more important information is nearer the top, and so that all information on VFIO is consolidated into a single section. In terms of the content of the sections, there are some minor changes to adjust what is a warning vs just a "note" in the doc, and there are some updates to increase emphasis on VFIO ovs UIO. Including stable on CC for the set, as all patches may be candidates for backport to help improve docs for older releases too.
