RFC: Add mtdset= to Documentation/kernel-parameters

[Ben Dooks]

Does anyone have any comments about adding this patch
to describe the ARM/S3C2412 Jive machine specific kernel
commandline parameter mtdset?

Only that it should be part of the patch which adds the mtdset=
parameter rather than a separate stand alone patch.

Not caused by this patch, but Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
needs a "ARM" entry/description near the top of the file in the
section that begins with:

"""The parameters listed below are only valid if certain kernel build options were
enabled and if respective hardware is present. The text in square brackets at
the beginning of each description states the restrictions within which a
parameter is applicable:"""

I'll submit a patch to add this later.
