[PATCH 2/2] arm64: document that pending SErrors are not allowed at kernel entry

[ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org (Ard Biesheuvel)]

Our current strategy to deal with pending SErrors at boot is to panic.
So let's mention in our boot protocol documentation that no SErrors
should be pending when handing over to the kernel.
