  There are two warnings in the VFIO section about limitations of VFIO and
limitations on who can bind/unbind devices. Since these don't actually
describe any unsafe conditions, and are more informational, we can
change these to notes. This also helps emphasise the other warnings in
the documents which flag genuine security concerns.
