Mauro Carvalho Chehab dc7a12bdfc docs: arm: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
Converts ARM the text files to ReST, preparing them to be an
architecture book.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

* Xen hypervisor device tree bindings
Xen ARM virtual platforms shall have a top-level "hypervisor" node with
the following properties:
- compatible:
compatible = "xen,xen-<version>", "xen,xen";
where <version> is the version of the Xen ABI of the platform.
- reg: specifies the base physical address and size of a region in
memory where the grant table should be mapped to, using an
HYPERVISOR_memory_op hypercall. The memory region is large enough to map
the whole grant table (it is larger or equal to gnttab_max_grant_frames()).
This property is unnecessary when booting Dom0 using ACPI.
- interrupts: the interrupt used by Xen to inject event notifications.
A GIC node is also required.
This property is unnecessary when booting Dom0 using ACPI.
To support UEFI on Xen ARM virtual platforms, Xen populates the FDT "uefi" node
under /hypervisor with following parameters:
________________________________________________________________________________
Name | Size | Description
================================================================================
xen,uefi-system-table | 64-bit | Guest physical address of the UEFI System
| | Table.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
xen,uefi-mmap-start | 64-bit | Guest physical address of the UEFI memory
| | map.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
xen,uefi-mmap-size | 32-bit | Size in bytes of the UEFI memory map
| | pointed to in previous entry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
xen,uefi-mmap-desc-size | 32-bit | Size in bytes of each entry in the UEFI
| | memory map.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
xen,uefi-mmap-desc-ver | 32-bit | Version of the mmap descriptor format.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example (assuming #address-cells = <2> and #size-cells = <2>):
hypervisor {
compatible = "xen,xen-4.3", "xen,xen";
reg = <0 0xb0000000 0 0x20000>;
interrupts = <1 15 0xf08>;
uefi {
xen,uefi-system-table = <0xXXXXXXXX>;
xen,uefi-mmap-start = <0xXXXXXXXX>;
xen,uefi-mmap-size = <0xXXXXXXXX>;
xen,uefi-mmap-desc-size = <0xXXXXXXXX>;
xen,uefi-mmap-desc-ver = <0xXXXXXXXX>;
};
};
The format and meaning of the "xen,uefi-*" parameters are similar to those in
Documentation/arm/uefi.rst, which are provided by the regular UEFI stub. However
they differ because they are provided by the Xen hypervisor, together with a set
of UEFI runtime services implemented via hypercalls, see
http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/hypercall/x86_64/include,public,platform.h.html.
