Code Issues Proposed changes

devref usage: n-cpu must run from pvm_admin group 

In order to function properly, the user account invoking the nova
compute process must belong to the pvm_admin group created by novalink.
This change set updates the devref usage doc to note this.

**Note:** Installing the NovaLink software creates the ``pvm_admin`` group. In
order to function properly, the user executing the Nova compute service must
be a member of this group. Use the ``usermod`` command to add the user. For
example, to add the user ``stacker`` to the ``pvm_admin`` group, execute::
sudo usermod -a -G pvm_admin stacker
The user must re-login for the change to take effect.
The NovaLink architecture is such that the compute driver runs directly on the
PowerVM system. No external management element (e.g. Hardware Management
Console or PowerVC) is needed. Management of the virtualization is driven
