2020-01-29powerpc: Provide initial documentation for PAPR hcallsVaibhav Jain
This doc patch provides an initial description of the hcall op-codes that are used by Linux kernel running as a guest (LPAR) on top of PowerVM or any other sPAPR compliant hyper-visor (e.g qemu). Apart from documenting the hcalls the doc-patch also provides a rudimentary overview of how hcall ABI, how they are issued with the Linux kernel and how information/control flows between the guest and hypervisor.

2019-07-17docs: powerpc: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab
Convert docs to ReST and add them to the arch-specific book. The conversion here was trivial, as almost every file there was already using an elegant format close to ReST standard. The changes were mostly to mark literal blocks and add a few missing section title identifiers. One note with regards to "--": on Sphinx, this can't be used to identify a list, as it will format it badly. This can be used, however, to identify a long hyphen - and "---" is an even longer one. 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.
