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?

This reverts commit 9830fcd6f6.
The ARM dt support has not been merged yet; this documentation update
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.

The device tree is used by more than just PowerPC. Make the documentation
directory available to all.
v2: reorganized files while moving to create arch and driver specific
directories.
