Folks,

Here are two patches, one to the kernel, the other to
the DTC repo, that moves the technical description
portions of the booting-without-of.txt documentation
out of the kernel and into the DTC repository.
Why remove it from the kernel?  It seems like this part should change  
infrequently and it would be good to keep its documentation with the  
kernel as well?
Well, all the usual reasons.  It will be improving over time,
and it makes much more sense to keep the documntation about
a system within the repository for that system.  And rather
than have two copies, one of which will get out of sync,
I feel it makes more sense to relocate the DTC technical
descriptions to the DTC repository where it belongs.

And speaking of which, I will also be removing the already extant
and already way out of data copy of the booting-without-of.txt
from the DTC repo as well.

If a small summary of say, DTC command line usage is left in
b-w-o.txt as a Quick Ref, I'm fine with that, of course.

Thanks,
jdl
