From 44bb0d67ec2d434b9e8a1270763eb72361e909a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruce Richardson Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2022 13:45:51 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] doc: change informational warnings to notes in Linux guide 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.
