Architecture-specific documentation is being moved into Documentation/arch/
as a way of cleaning up the top-level documentation directory and making
the docs hierarchy more closely match the source hierarchy.  Move
Documentation/arm64 into arch/ (along with the Chinese equvalent
translations) and fix up documentation references.

<title>arm64: booting: Require placement within 48-bit addressable memory</title>
<updated>2022-11-25T12:20:12+00:00</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:453dfcee70c5c344ca09396ff5b0baf177eb327e</id>
<content type='text'>
Some configurations (i.e., 64k + LVA/LPA) can tolerate a physical
placement of the kernel image outside of the 48-bit addressable region,
but given that the loader has no way of knowing whether or not the image
in question supports LVA/LPA, it currently has no choice but to place it
below the 48-bit mark.

Once we add support for LPA2, which allows 52-bit physical and virtual
addressing when using 4k or 16k pages, but in way that relies on
increasing the number of paging levels, there will be more variety in
the configurations that may or may not support this.

So redefine bit #3 in the Image header as 'must be placed within 48-bit
addressable memory', as this is the current de facto meaning.

<id>urn:sha1:b6ba1a89f73f11000f6b3062c4dc2503531bd3d2</id>
<content type='text'>
When booting the kernel we access system registers such as GCR_EL1
if MTE is supported. These accesses are defined to trap to EL3 if
SCR_EL3.ATA is disabled. Furthermore, tag accesses will not behave
as expected if SCR_EL3.ATA is not set, or if HCR_EL2.ATA is not set
and we were booted at EL1. Therefore, require that these bits are
enabled when appropriate.
