dt: Remove booting-without-of.rst booting-without-of.rst is an ancient document that first outlined Flattened DeviceTree on PowerPC initially. The DT world has evolved a lot in the 15 years since and booting-without-of.rst is pretty stale. The name of the document itself is confusing if you don't understand the evolution from real 'OpenFirmware'. Most of what booting-without-of.rst contains is now in the DT specification (which evolved out of the ePAPR). The few things that weren't documented in the DT specification are now. All that remains is the boot entry details, so let's move these to arch specific documents. The exception is arm which already has the same details documented.

Documentation/x86: Add documentation for /proc/cpuinfo feature flags /proc/cpuinfo shows features which the kernel supports. Some of these flags are derived from CPUID, and others are derived from other sources, including some that are entirely software-based. Currently, there is not any documentation in the kernel about how /proc/cpuinfo flags are generated and what it means when they are missing. Add documentation for /proc/cpuinfo feature flags enumeration. Document how and when x86 feature flags are used. Also discuss what their presence or absence mean for the kernel and users.

x86/speculation/mds: Add mds_clear_cpu_buffers() The Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) vulernabilities are mitigated by clearing the affected CPU buffers. The mechanism for clearing the buffers uses the unused and obsolete VERW instruction in combination with a microcode update which triggers a CPU buffer clear when VERW is executed. Provide a inline function with the assembly magic. The argument of the VERW instruction must be a memory operand as documented: "MD_CLEAR enumerates that the memory-operand variant of VERW (for example, VERW m16) has been extended to also overwrite buffers affected by MDS. This buffer overwriting functionality is not guaranteed for the register operand variant of VERW." Documentation also recommends to use a writable data segment selector: "The buffer overwriting occurs regardless of the result of the VERW permission check, as well as when the selector is null or causes a descriptor load segment violation. However, for lowest latency we recommend using a selector that indicates a valid writable data segment." Add x86 specific documentation about MDS and the internal workings of the mitigation.
