Documentation/arm64: clarify requirements for DTB placement (2013-09-05 17:29:05 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
- User tagged pointers support (top 8-bit of user pointers automatically
ignored by the CPU).
- Kernel mode NEON (no users for arm64 yet but work in progress).
- arm64 kernel Image header extended to accommodate future EFI stub.
- Remove BogoMIPS reporting (not relevant, it's just the timer
frequency).
- Clean-up (EM_AARCH64/EM_ARM to elf-em.h, ELF notes in read-only
segment, unused variable).
- Bug-fixes (RAM boundaries not 2MB aligned, perf, includes).
