[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC 1/1] vfio/pci: Fix incorrect error message

[Dong Jia Shi]

When the "No host device provided" error occurs, the hint message
that starts with "Use -vfio-pci," makes no sense, since "-vfio-pci"
is not a valid command line parameter.

Correct this by replacing "-vfio-pci" with "-device vfio-pci".
