VT for Direct I/O toggle and Hard Disk Drive Sequencing were removed
from BIOS 2.19+; VT-d is enabled by default. Add dmesg verification
step and clarify C-states should be disabled. Remove outdated note
pointing users to a nonexistent menu option.

Dell R730xd BIOS 2.19.0 renamed settings and reorganized menus:
- "VT for Direct I/O" → "Virtualization Technology for Direct I/O" (same page, scroll down)
- "Power Management" top-level category → "System Profile Settings"
- "Power Management Policy: Performance" → set System Profile to Custom, then CPU Power Management to Maximum Performance
- Add inline note so future readers know why the labels differ from older docs
