    Patch from Deepak Saxena
    
    One of the problems I have seen with several bootloaders is
    that they forget to disable network devices before jumping 
    into the kernel and we end up with kernel text being overwritten
    by random data before the in-kernel driver resets the devices.
    This patch adds a blurb to the ARM Bootloader documentation 
    reminding developers to quiesce all DMA capable devices before
    executing the kernel.
