Recently we introduced the generic device tree infrastructure for couple of DMA
bus parameter, dma-ranges and dma-coherent. Update the documentation so that
its useful for future users.
The "dma-ranges" property is intended to be used for describing the
configuration of DMA bus RAM addresses and its offset w.r.t CPU addresses.
The "dma-coherent" property is intended to be used for identifying devices
supported coherent DMA operations.

The device_type property is deprecated for the flattened device tree and
the value "ethernet-phy" has never been defined as having a useful
meaning. Neither the kernel nor u-boot depend on it. It should never
have appeared in PHY bindings. This patch removes all references to
"ethernet-phy" as a device_type value from the documentation and the
.dts files.
This patch was generated mechanically with the following command and
then verified by looking at the diff.
sed -i '/"ethernet-phy"/d' `git grep -l '"ethernet-phy"'`

After I came across a help text for SUNGEM mentioning a broken sun.com
URL, I felt like fixing those up, as they are now pointing to oracle.com
URLs.

Numeric values in dts files can be specified in decimal and hex (the latter
prefixed 0x). The current documentation is updated with this patch to prevent
confusion about what is meant with values without "0x" (previously hex, now
dec).

This patch adds minimal support for device tree on x86. The device
tree blob is passed to the kernel via setup_data which requires at
least boot protocol 2.09.
Memory size, restricted memory regions, boot arguments are gathered
the traditional way so things like cmd_line are just here to let the
code compile.
The current plan is use the device tree as an extension and to gather
information which can not be enumerated and would have to be hardcoded
otherwise. This includes things like
- which devices are on this I2C/SPI bus?
- how are the interrupts wired to IO APIC?
- where could my hpet be?

was premature.

32 and 64 bit powerpc support has been merged for a while now, but
the booting-without-of.txt document still describes 32 bit as not
supporting multiplatform, which is no longer true. This patch fixes
the documentation.
Also remove references to powerpc-specific details outside of section
I in preparation to add details for other architectures.
v3: cleaned up a lot more powerpc-isms and updated text to reflect current
usage conventions.

v2: reorganized files while moving to create arch and driver specific
