    docs: Change order of PCI configuration steps
    
    It doesn't really make sense to describe the "higher level"
    configuration steps necessary for PCI passthrough before describing
    things like BIOS configuration. Simply switch the ordering.

Title:
  PCI passthrough documentation does not describe the steps necessary to
  passthrough PFs

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This came up on IRC [1]. By default, nova will not allow you to use PF
  devices unless you specifically request this type of device. This is
  intentional behavior to allow users to whitelist all devices from a
  particular vendor and avoid passing through the PF device when they
  meant to only consume the VFs. In the future, we might want to prevent
  whitelisting of both PF and VFs, but for now we should document the
  current behavior.
