cpu-map binding can be used to described cpu topology for both
RISC-V & ARM. It makes more sense to move the binding to document
to a common place.
The relevant discussion can be found here.

The current ARM DT topology description provides the operating system
with a topological view of the system that is based on leaf nodes
representing either cores or threads (in an SMT system) and a
hierarchical set of cluster nodes that creates a hierarchical topology
view of how those cores and threads are grouped.
However this hierarchical representation of clusters does not allow to
describe what topology level actually represents the physical package or
the socket boundary, which is a key piece of information to be used by
an operating system to optimize resource allocation and scheduling.
Lets add a new "socket" node type in the cpu-map node to describe the
same.

The primecell.txt and cpus.txt files were converted into YAML. This
patch updates old references with new ones.

The Devicetree Specification has superseded the ePAPR as the
base specification for bindings. Update files in Documentation
to reference the new document.
First reference to ePAPR in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cci.txt
is generic, remove it.
Some files are not updated because there is no hypervisor chapter
in the Devicetree Specification:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/powerpc/fsl/msi-pic.txt
Documenation/virtual/kvm/api.txt
Documenation/virtual/kvm/ppc-pv.txt

The ARMv8 code will reject incomplete topologies that omit some CPUs (and it's
not clear that it's ever sensible to do so). Update the binding document to
make this clear.
Since we're reformatting the text also fix incorrect grammar in the
final "Any other configuration..." section by removing "consider".

The advent of multi-cluster ARM systems requires a mechanism to describe
how in hierarchical terms CPUs are connected in ARM SoCs so that the kernel
can initialize and map resources like IRQs and memory space to specific
group(s) of CPUs.
The CPU topology is made up of multiple hierarchy levels whose bottom
layers (aka leaf nodes in device tree syntax) contain links to the HW
CPUs in the system.
The topology bindings are generic for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems and
lay the groundwork on top of which affinity schemes can be built.
This patch provides the documentation in the kernel required to define the
device tree bindings describing the CPU topology for ARM 32-bit and 64-bit
systems.
