VT-d How To Update: Done

What started as a quick edit to mention some features that I got merged into the forthcoming 3.4.0 release of Xen ended up as an all day reworking. But its done now and hopefully the VT-d HowTo is in better shape for it.

This was my first experience editing using a wiki for something that took more than a few moments. At first it was a bit painful - a meta language for a mark-up language does seem like at least one layer of abstraction to many to me - but by the end of it I was less bothered. The version of MoinMoin's GUI editor that is on wiki.xensource.com does seem to be somewhat broken/feature lacking. Perhaps there are newer/better versions around. But it was a nice change of sceen from the MoinMoin Text editor. And between those two views of reality I managed to get the job done.

Originally I was going to write this post to see if anyone has any advice to offer on using wikis for large edits. But I've come to realise that now I'm just writing it as an excuse to do something in HTML - something I though I would never hear myself say.
