Geoffroy Van Cutsem a7e53dd32f doc: update BDF information for 'uart=' hypervisor parameter
The 'uart=' parameter for the hypervisor takes multiple forms. One
is to specify the BDF (Bus, Device, Function) value of the serial
port PCI device. The description in the documentation used the
previous format (e.g. '0:18.1') but a 16-bit WORD in HEX needs
to be passed nowadays. E.g.: '0:18.1' is specified by 'uart=0xc1'

ACRN Hypervisor
###############

The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and
an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on
a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a
reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the
"ACRN Device Model".

The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on
the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded
device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists
between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN
hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional
domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and
embedded devices.

You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_
website.
