This extends the virt-host-validate command todo a bunch more
checks. Probably the most interesting is the last one which
checks for Intel IOMMU needed todo PCI assignment with KVM.
It is pretty crude, so further suggestions welcome. I don't
want to grep dmesg as suggested in [1] since dmesg can be
purged by the time we look at it.

What kmods should we look for for VT-D too ?

  virt-host-validate.c: check for kernel namespaces
  virt-host-validate: distinguish exists vs accessible for devices
  virt-host-validate: check for required cgroups
  virt-host-validate: check for intel_iommu=on cmdline flag
