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.

In preparation to the introduction of other SoCs in the ARMv8 Armada
EBU family, this commit tweaks the existing description of Armada 37xx
by making the core, homepage and other informations be visible "under"
the Armada 37xx item. Indeed, the new SoCs will not share the same
core or homepage.
In addition, a link to the Product Brief is added.

I'm still getting confused regarding which core specifically
is used in which SoC, so I've added some more detail to the
Marvell README file. I got most of this from random sources
on the internet, so it's possible that some of the information
is wrong, but most of it should be pretty obvious.
There are a few remaining points I could not find out:
* The CPU core in Orion 88F6183
* The difference (if any) between PJ4B-MP and PJ4C
* The naming of Feroceon/Jolteon/Flareon/Sheeva/Mohawk/PJ1/PJ4
is still confusing, as they tend to overlap.

[Thomas:
- move Armada SP out from the EBU family into its own "Storage"
family. This chip is indeed not part of the EBU family.
- fixed the URL for the Armada SP information, since the link of the
original patch no longer existed
- explicitly indicate that there is no support in upstream for the
Armada SP
- indent the "Core: " description for the Armada XP to be clearly
under the Armada XP category, so that it is clear it applies to
Armada XP only, and not other cores of the EBU family.]

Some time ago, the "Function Specifications" for the Marvell Armada XP
processor has been released. However, the "Hardware Specifications"
were not released at the same time. They have now been released
publicly, so this commit updates the Marvell documentation file with
the references to this new documentation.
Three documents are available, one for each of the three variants of
Armada XP: 78230, 78260 and 78460.

Marvell has very recently released a public version of the "Functional
specifications" and "Hardware specifications" datasheets for the
Marvell Armada XP SoC. This allows contributors and developers not
under NDA with Marvell to get more details about this SoC than what
the current kernel code shows, and hopefully allows to improve the
support for this SoC in the mainline kernel, as well as in other
projects.

As stated in the introduction of the document, the families of ARM
SoCs at Marvell are very complicated, and it is difficult for
newcomers to understand the organization of this SoC family and how it
relates to the Linux kernel support for those hardware platforms.
This document is only at RFC stage for now, it requires reviews and
comments from the Marvell maintainers, the PXA maintainers and the MMP
maintainers. For correctness of course, but also to add any other
information that would be useful. For example, one of the thing that
wasn't clear how to detail in the documentation is how the SoCs relate
to each other in terms of hardware IP blocks. For example, most of the
Kirkwood/Dove/Armada 370-XP/etc. hardware IPs (I2C, SPI, USB, SATA,
etc.) are identical, while the PXA and MMP families are completely
separate.

Changes from v3:
* Add Arnd Bergmann Acked-by.
Changes from v2:
* Mention the plat-<foo> directory that each SoC family is using.
* Take into account Eric Miao's comments on the PXA/MMP families: add
PXA21x/PXA25x/PXA26x to the list, mention which processors are
AP+CP or AP only. Clarify the comments on which SoCs were designed
by Intel, which ones were designed by Marvell after the acquisition
of the XScale family.
* Mention long-term plans regarding the support of those SoC
families.
Changes from v1:
* Added publicly available datasheet for the 88F5182 pointed by
Andrew Lunn.
* Added publicly available datasheet for the 88F5281 found with
Google searches
* Mentionned the Feroceon core name where appropriate, and Sheeva
where appropriate
* Fixed the core names for PXA930, PXA935 and PXA955 after comments
from Arnd Bergmann. Wikipedia is mistakenly suggesting that PXA93x
are Sheeva-based, and there isn't much information available on the
web about the 955.
