x86: doc: move x86-generic documentation from Doc/x86/i386

The boot protocol, USB legacy support, and zero-page documentation is
common to the x86 platform, not i386-specific.

-USB Legacy support
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-
-Also known as "USB Keyboard" or "USB Mouse support" in the BIOS Setup is a
-feature that allows one to use the USB mouse and keyboard as if they were
-their classic PS/2 counterparts.  This means one can use an USB keyboard to
-type in LILO for example.
-
-It has several drawbacks, though:
-
-1) On some machines, the emulated PS/2 mouse takes over even when no USB
-   mouse is present and a real PS/2 mouse is present.  In that case the extra
-   features (wheel, extra buttons, touchpad mode) of the real PS/2 mouse may
-   not be available.
-
-2) If CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is enabled, the PS/2 mouse emulation can cause
-   system crashes, because the SMM BIOS is not expecting to be in PAE mode.
-   The Intel E7505 is a typical machine where this happens.
-
-3) If AMD64 64-bit mode is enabled, again system crashes often happen,
-   because the SMM BIOS isn't expecting the CPU to be in 64-bit mode.  The
-   BIOS manufacturers only test with Windows, and Windows doesn't do 64-bit
-   yet.
-
-Solutions:
-
-Problem 1) can be solved by loading the USB drivers prior to loading the
-PS/2 mouse driver. Since the PS/2 mouse driver is in 2.6 compiled into
-the kernel unconditionally, this means the USB drivers need to be
-compiled-in, too.
-
-Problem 2) can currently only be solved by either disabling HIGHMEM64G
-in the kernel config or USB Legacy support in the BIOS. A BIOS update
-could help, but so far no such update exists.
-
-Problem 3) is usually fixed by a BIOS update. Check the board
-manufacturers web site. If an update is not available, disable USB
-Legacy support in the BIOS. If this alone doesn't help, try also adding
-idle=poll on the kernel command line. The BIOS may be entering the SMM
-on the HLT instruction as well.
