Subject: [PATCH] Document boot_order syntax for kvm
The gnt-instance manpage only contained the correct syntax for xen-pvm.
Specify what the kvm syntax is, and also warn about a problem with
virtio+netboot, for older kvm versions.

+ For KVM the boot order is either 'cdrom' 'disk' or
+ 'network'. Please note that older versions of KVM
+ couldn't netboot from virtio interfaces. This has
+ been fixed in more recent versions and is confirmed
+ to work at least with qemu-kvm 0.11.1.
