virt-host-validate should print "Checking for device assignment IOMMU
support" for all architectures, not only for Intel / AMD.
This is the output without the patch:
```
[fidencio@dentola libvirt]$ virt-host-validate
QEMU: comprobando if device /dev/kvm exists : PASA
QEMU: comprobando if device /dev/kvm is accessible : PASA
QEMU: comprobando if device /dev/vhost-net exists : PASA
QEMU: comprobando if device /dev/net/tun exists : PASA
QEMU: comprobando for cgroup 'cpu' controller support : PASA
QEMU: comprobando for cgroup 'cpuacct' controller support : PASA
QEMU: comprobando for cgroup 'cpuset' controller support : PASA
QEMU: comprobando for cgroup 'memory' controller support : PASA

QEMU: comprobando for cgroup 'blkio' controller support : PASA
ADVERTENCIA (Unknown if this platform has IOMMU support)
QEMU: comprobando for secure guest support : ADVERTENCIA (Unknown if this platform has Secure Guest support)
```
This is the output with the patch:
```

So this prints out "checking for device ..." message (without \n at EOL)...

.. but here, later in this if-else blocks other archs have their branch

No need to resend, just let me know if you're okay with it. I can squash
it in before pushing.
