docs: move x86 documentation into Documentation/arch/

Move the x86 documentation under Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning
up the top-level directory and making the structure of our docs more
closely match the structure of the source directories it describes.

All in-kernel references to the old paths have been updated.

+DeviceTree Booting
+------------------
+
+  There is one single 32bit entry point to the kernel at code32_start,
+  the decompressor (the real mode entry point goes to the same  32bit
+  entry point once it switched into protected mode). That entry point
+  supports one calling convention which is documented in
+  Documentation/arch/x86/boot.rst
+  The physical pointer to the device-tree block is passed via setup_data
+  which requires at least boot protocol 2.09.
+  The type filed is defined as
+
+  #define SETUP_DTB                      2
+
+  This device-tree is used as an extension to the "boot page". As such it
+  does not parse / consider data which is already covered by the boot
+  page. This includes memory size, reserved ranges, command line arguments
+  or initrd address. It simply holds information which can not be retrieved
+  otherwise like interrupt routing or a list of devices behind an I2C bus.
