doc: clarify IOMMU disabling for uio_pci_generic

If the devices used for DPDK are bound to the "uio_pci_generic" kernel
module, the IOMMU should be disabled in order not to break the IO
transmission because of the virtual / physical address mapping.

The patch clarifies the IOMMU configurations on both x86_64 and arm64
systems.
