x86: move x86-specific documentation into Documentation/x86

The current organization of the x86 documentation makes it appear as
if the "i386" documentation doesn't apply to x86-64, which is does.
Thus, move that documentation into Documentation/x86, and move the
x86-64-specific stuff into Documentation/x86/x86_64 with the eventual
goal to move stuff that isn't actually 64-bit specific back into
Documentation/x86.

-Firmware support for CPU hotplug under Linux/x86-64
----------------------------------------------------
-
-Linux/x86-64 supports CPU hotplug now. For various reasons Linux wants to
-know in advance of boot time the maximum number of CPUs that could be plugged
-into the system. ACPI 3.0 currently has no official way to supply
-this information from the firmware to the operating system.
-
-In ACPI each CPU needs an LAPIC object in the MADT table (5.2.11.5 in the
-ACPI 3.0 specification).  ACPI already has the concept of disabled LAPIC
-objects by setting the Enabled bit in the LAPIC object to zero.
-
-For CPU hotplug Linux/x86-64 expects now that any possible future hotpluggable
-CPU is already available in the MADT. If the CPU is not available yet
-it should have its LAPIC Enabled bit set to 0. Linux will use the number
-of disabled LAPICs to compute the maximum number of future CPUs.
-
-In the worst case the user can overwrite this choice using a command line
-option (additional_cpus=...), but it is recommended to supply the correct
-number (or a reasonable approximation of it, with erring towards more not less)
-in the MADT to avoid manual configuration.
