And to arm64 platforms FW :)

I do not think there is anything ARM64 specific in Bjorn's description,
but I do think it is very useful to have it in documentation, these
bits of information are scattered around ACPI specs and PCI FW specs,
having a single source would help and would have prevented asking
Bjorn the same questions 100 times.

+1, Thank you very much for this nice summary Bjorn.
