DOC: add vuart setting guide to avoid conflict
different serial devices could be used on different boards. "vuart=ttySn@irqN" is used to avoid vuart's irq conflict with SOS passthrough devices. on UEFI platform, if ttyS1 used for debug uart, and its IRQ on native OS is 5, you'd better set "vuart=ttyS1@irq5"; also for its SOS bootargs in acrn.conf, you need set "console=ttyS1" to match its vuart setting.

SOS bootargs ``console=ttyS1`` in acrn.conf to match with vuart setting.
