Bug Description

README.md file (https://github.com/stackforge/fuel-main/blob/master/virtualbox/README.md) should be updated to reflect important requirement.

Currently listed requirements:
- VirtualBox with VirtualBox Extension Pack
- procps
- expect
- Cygwin for Windows host PC

Following requirement should be added:
- Enable VT-x/AMD-V acceleration options on your hardware for 64-bits guests

Impact: unscheduled host system reboot to enable VT-x/AMD-V in BIOS if it was not set previously.

If VT-x/AMD-V is not enabled on host system, then VirtualBox generates an error message:
"VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot."
VT-x or AMD-V support is needed for 64-bits guests.
