The current description of DTB placement requirements does not quite
match the kernel code in head.S: __vet_fdt and __create_page_tables.
This patch tweaks the text to match the actual requirements placed on
it by the code.

Expand the arm64 image header to allow for co-existance with
PE/COFF header required by the EFI stub. The PE/COFF format
requires the "MZ" header to be at offset 0, and the offset
to the PE/COFF header to be at offset 0x3c. The image
header is expanded to allow 2 instructions at the beginning
to accommodate a benign intruction at offset 0 that includes
the "MZ" header, a magic number, and the offset to the PE/COFF
header.

Documentation/arm64/booting.txt describes the booting protocol on the
AArch64 Linux kernel. This is subject to change following the work on
boot standardisation, ACPI.
