54bb4a91b2 dt-bindings: xen: Clarify "reg" purpose
Xen on Arm has gained new support recently to calculate and report
extended regions (unused address space) safe to use for external
mappings. These regions are reported via "reg" property under
"hypervisor" node in the guest device-tree. As region 0 is reserved
for grant table space (always present), the indexes for extended
regions are 1...N.

No device-tree bindings update is needed (except clarifying the text)
as guest infers the presence of extended regions from the number
of regions in "reg" property.

While at it, remove the following sentence:
"This property is unnecessary when booting Dom0 using ACPI."
for "reg" and "interrupts" properties as the initialization is not
done via device-tree "hypervisor" node in that case anyway.

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.

9d2f145fce ARM: Xen: Document UEFI support on Xen ARM virtual platforms
Add a "uefi" node under /hypervisor node in FDT, then Linux kernel could
scan this to get the UEFI information.

c43cdfbc4c docs: Xen ARM DT bindings
Add a doc to describe the Xen ARM device tree bindings


Changes in v5:

- add a comment about the size of the grant table memory region;
- add a comment about the required presence of a GIC node;
- specify that the described properties are part of a top-level
"hypervisor" node;
- specify #address-cells and #size-cells for the example.


Changes in v4:

- "xen,xen" should be last as it is less specific;
- update reg property using 2 address-cells and 2 size-cells.
