docs: add some notes on the sbsa-ref machine
We should at least document what this machine is about.

Arm Server Base System Architecture Reference board (``sbsa-ref``)
|
||||
==================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
While the `virt` board is a generic board platform that doesn't match
|
||||
any real hardware the `sbsa-ref` board intends to look like real
|
||||
hardware. The `Server Base System Architecture
|
||||
<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0029/latest>` defines a
|
||||
minimum base line of hardware support and importantly how the firmware
|
||||
reports that to any operating system. It is a static system that
|
||||
reports a very minimal DT to the firmware for non-discoverable
|
||||
information about components affected by the qemu command line (i.e.
|
||||
cpus and memory). As a result it must have a firmware specifically
|
||||
built to expect a certain hardware layout (as you would in a real
|
||||
machine).
|
||||
|
||||
It is intended to be a machine for developing firmware and testing
|
||||
standards compliance with operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Supported devices
|
||||
"""""""""""""""""
|
||||
|
||||
The sbsa-ref board supports:
|
||||
|
||||
- A configurable number of AArch64 CPUs
|
||||
- GIC version 3
|
||||
- System bus AHCI controller
|
||||
- System bus EHCI controller
|
||||
- CDROM and hard disc on AHCI bus
|
||||
- E1000E ethernet card on PCIe bus
|
||||
- VGA display adaptor on PCIe bus
|
||||
- A generic SBSA watchdog device
