arm64/Documentation: clarify wording regarding memory below the Image
Clarify that the memory below the start of the image but inside the region covered by the linear mapping has no special significance to the kernel, and may be used by the firmware provided that it is marked as reserved. Also, fix up some whitespace errors. Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
