Enabling IOMMU on the host is not a requirement for vIOMMU. It is only
a requirement for passthrough. Add a sentence to clarify the need for
a configured PCI(e) passthrough on the host for passthrough to nested
VMs.
While at it also clarify that this does not only applies to PCI but
also PCIe here.

A little update to the PCI(e) docs. The PCI wiki article has been
reworked as well, in line with changes from this patch.
Along some minor grammar fixes added:
* how to check if kernel modules are being loaded
* how to check which drivers to blacklist
* how to add softdeps for module loading
* where to find kernel params

Editing the kernel commandline is described centrally in the bootloaders
chapter. Refer to it where appropriate (qm-pci-passthrough.adoc).
Additionally update the documentation on ZFS as rpool to the inclusion of
`systemd-boot`

and add a 'see also' chapter for the wiki with a link to the old
pci passthrough documentation (which i will change to contain
examples and other steps not suited for the reference documentation)

fix some typos like s/seperate/separate/ passhtrough, ...
Reword some sentences, try to reduces commas per sentence (while I
like them, others don't and they entangle your mind when reading a
bit).
Try to improve formatting, adding some emphasis on abbrevations or
other important things. Ensur all abbrev. are writen uppercase.

explain what it is and how to use it, especially the steps necessary
on the host and the various options under one chapter
most of this is also found on the wiki in the Pci_passthrough
article
we may want to condense the information there and link it as
'notes and examples'
