Summary

Most of the text here relates to PCI passthrough, which is still
amd64-only, but we should still document supported platforms.

While here, remove the comment that vmm.ko has to be loaded at boot-time
for passthrough, as devctl makes it possible to detach host drivers on
the fly. I'm not aware of any other reason to require vmm.ko to be
loaded at boot.
