32 and 64 bit powerpc support has been merged for a while now, but
the booting-without-of.txt document still describes 32 bit as not
supporting multiplatform, which is no longer true. =A0This patch fixes
the documentation.

Also remove references to powerpc-specific details outside of section
I in preparation to add details for other architectures.

There's a line around 500 that starts:

=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0"The kernel powerpc generic code does..."

Perhaps the powerpc reference should be dropped there?

Done

Also, there are several mentions of "real Open Firmware", which are
probably just fine, and prom_init(), which are probably arch specific.

The prom_init() reference is just an example, and so I'm okay with it
staying in.  The example is relevant to look at regardless of the
architecture you are working on.  Oh, but I should drop the reference
to every node requiring a "device_type" property.

There is a section that talks about ranges that starts with:

=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0"For a new 64-bit powerpc board, I...".

Fixed.

Section III 5) has all kinds of powerpc specific stuff. =A0CHRP,
pSeries, PAPR in the root node. =A0The references to Apple machines for
examples are probably OK, but it shouldn't make PowerPC items as
explicit requirements.

Right, fixed.

Section III 5e) references a file that doesn't exist:
arch/ppc64/kernel/setup.c

Fixed

Section V, paragraph 2 references a file that doesn't exist:
arch/ppc64/kernel/prom.c

Hope that helps you...
