Subject: [PATCH] content: Replace guest OS with driver


Currently device status field description and driver requirements
section uses mix of terminology for the driver. These two sections
sometimes call the driver as 'the guest OS' or 'the driver'.

Most of the cleanup around 'guest Os' was already done around commit
212c0cf3 in past. Clean up the remaining few references to just
refer it as 'driver'.

This is an editorial change.
