Bug Description

pci_passthrough_whitelist can be be specified in different ways, but current documentation of pci_passthrough_whitelist in nova.conf captured in OpenStack Configuration Reference guide, defines only limited option.
There is a need to document available options as it is defined in the https://github.com/openstack/nova-specs/blob/master/specs/juno/implemented/pci-passthrough-sriov.rst specification.

Let me clearify

This issue need to fix nova help messages.
 i.e. From Configuration Reference, it is automatically generated from nova source code.
It seems to be nothing to do for manual side.
or does this issue track nova code changes?

    Improve 'pci' conf options documentation

    The 'pci_passthrough_whitelist' conf option can be be specified in
    different ways, but the current documentation, defines only limited
    option. Similarly the 'pci_alias' option is a JSON dictionary, but this
    is not specificed.

    Further document both option per definition from the 'pci-passthrough-sriov'
    spec.
