With recent kernels, it is now expected to use "bind" control from the
sysfs in order to bind a specific device to the vfio-pci driver.
The use of "new_id" is still required but it is only needed once per
device type. Let's say you want to bind two virtio-net devices, you will
need to add the device_id:vendor_id pair through "new_id", while you
will be required to use "bind" for each device.

Since INTx is now supported for VFIO PCI devices, there is no more
limitations regarding VFIO, which means the documentation must be
updated accordingly.

Because of the behavior of the NVIDIA proprietary driver, we can't
expect NVIDIA cards with only MSI support to be functioning correctly
after they've been passed through with Cloud-Hypervisor.

Now that our CI has transitioned from ClearLinux to Ubuntu images
exclusively, let's update the documentation to refer to Ubuntu images
instead of ClearLinux's ones.

Having the virtual IOMMU created with --iommu is one thing, but we also
need a way to decide if a VFIO device should be attached to the virtual
IOMMU or not. That's why we introduce an extra option "iommu" with the
value "on" or "off". By default, the device is not attached, which means
"iommu=off".

Having the virtual IOMMU created with --iommu is one thing, but we also
need a way to decide if a virtio-blk device should be attached to this
virtual IOMMU or not. That's why we introduce an extra option "iommu"
with the value "on" or "off". By default, the device is not attached,
which means "iommu=off".
One side effect of this new option is that we had to introduce a new
option for the disk path, simply called "path=".
