From: Paulo Vital <pvital at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Modified the error message with the correct configuration file and parameter to
explain how to configure host kernel parameter to add support to IOMMU.

All latest version of supported distro at this moment (Fedora 23, Ubuntu 15.10,
Debian 8, RHEL 7.2 and OpenSUSE Leap) have the configuration file
(/etc/default/grub) and the kernel parameter (GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX) to be
configured.
