[PATCH] ARM: Documentation: Update the Booting document with SMP boot advice

[Dave Martin]

Currently, Booting doesn't say anything about booting on an SMP
system.

Although SMP boot varies somewhat from platform to platform, there
are some general requirements which will usually apply.  This patch
documents those likely requirements, which should help to encourage
some consistency between implementations.

There's also some minor rearrangement of the text to restore a
logical reading order after the other changes.
