958d6ebe53 docs: add a kbase explaining security protections for QEMU passthrough
When using command line passthrough users will often trip up over the
security protections like SELinux, DAC, namespaces, etc which will
deny access to files they are passing. This document explains the
various protections and how to deal with their policy, and/or how
to disable them.
