clarifying patch for vmm(4) manpage

The vmm(4) manpage could use a bit of emphasis on the fact that vmm.ko needs to be loaded early (from loader.conf) rather than just mentioning that it can be loaded from loader.conf.  This would have saved me a full day of chasing my tail around in circles.  The attached patch provides that emphasis.
