Documentation: Move OpenRISC docs out of arch/
The OpenRISC docs have traditionally been in arch/ but that does not seem like the correct place to be. Move them so they will be more visible to others. Also update MAINTAINERS to make sure we get notifications of changes. Signed-off-by: Stafford Horne <shorne@gmail.com>

-OpenRISC Linux
-==============
-
-This is a port of Linux to the OpenRISC class of microprocessors; the initial
-target architecture, specifically, is the 32-bit OpenRISC 1000 family (or1k).
-
-For information about OpenRISC processors and ongoing development:
-
- website http://openrisc.io
-
-For more information about Linux on OpenRISC, please contact South Pole AB.

-Build instructions for OpenRISC toolchain and Linux
-===================================================
-
-In order to build and run Linux for OpenRISC, you'll need at least a basic
-toolchain and, perhaps, the architectural simulator. Steps to get these bits
-in place are outlined here.
-
-1) The toolchain can be obtained from openrisc.io. Instructions for building
-a toolchain can be found at:
-
-https://github.com/openrisc/tutorials
-
-2) or1ksim (optional)
-
-or1ksim is the architectural simulator which will allow you to actually run
-your OpenRISC Linux kernel if you don't have an OpenRISC processor at hand.
-
- git clone https://github.com/openrisc/or1ksim.git
-
- cd or1ksim
- ./configure --prefix=$OPENRISC_PREFIX
- make
- make install
-
-3) Linux kernel
-
-Build the kernel as usual
-
- make ARCH=openrisc defconfig
- make ARCH=openrisc
-
-4) Run in architectural simulator
-
-Grab the or1ksim platform configuration file (from the or1ksim source) and
-together with your freshly built vmlinux, run your kernel with the following
-incantation:
-
- sim -f arch/openrisc/or1ksim.cfg vmlinux
-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Terminology
-===========
-
-In the code, the following particles are used on symbols to limit the scope
-to more or less specific processor implementations:
-
-openrisc: the OpenRISC class of processors
-or1k: the OpenRISC 1000 family of processors
-or1200: the OpenRISC 1200 processor
-

-
-18. 11. 2003 Matjaz Breskvar (phoenix@bsemi.com)
- initial port of linux to OpenRISC/or32 architecture.
- all the core stuff is implemented and seams usable.
-
-08. 12. 2003 Matjaz Breskvar (phoenix@bsemi.com)
- complete change of TLB miss handling.
- rewrite of exceptions handling.
- fully functional sash-3.6 in default initrd.
- a much improved version with changes all around.
-
-10. 04. 2004 Matjaz Breskvar (phoenix@bsemi.com)
- alot of bugfixes all over.
- ethernet support, functional http and telnet servers.
- running many standard linux apps.
-
-26. 06. 2004 Matjaz Breskvar (phoenix@bsemi.com)
- port to 2.6.x
-
-30. 11. 2004 Matjaz Breskvar (phoenix@bsemi.com)
- lots of bugfixes and enhancments.
- added opencores framebuffer driver.
-
-09. 10. 2010 Jonas Bonn (jonas@southpole.se)
- major rewrite to bring up to par with upstream Linux 2.6.36

-The OpenRISC Linux port is fully functional and has been tracking upstream
-since 2.6.35. There are, however, remaining items to be completed within
-the coming months. Here's a list of known-to-be-less-than-stellar items
-that are due for investigation shortly, i.e. our TODO list:
-
--- Implement the rest of the DMA API... dma_map_sg, etc.
-
--- Finish the renaming cleanup... there are references to or32 in the code
- which was an older name for the architecture. The name we've settled on is
- or1k and this change is slowly trickling through the stack. For the time
- being, or32 is equivalent to or1k.
