arm: docs: Move Arm documentation to Documentation/arch/
Architecture-specific documentation is being moved into Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning up the top-level documentation directory and making the docs hierarchy more closely match the source hierarchy. Move Documentation/arm into arch/ (along with the Chinese equvalent translations).

+Samsung ARM Linux Overview
+==========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+ The Samsung range of ARM SoCs spans many similar devices, from the initial
+ ARM9 through to the newest ARM cores. This document shows an overview of
+ the current kernel support, how to use it and where to find the code
+ that supports this.
+
+ The currently supported SoCs are:
+
+ - S3C64XX: S3C6400 and S3C6410
+ - S5PC110 / S5PV210
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+ A number of configurations are supplied, as there is no current way of
+ unifying all the SoCs into one kernel.
+
+ s5pc110_defconfig
+ - S5PC110 specific default configuration
+ s5pv210_defconfig
+ - S5PV210 specific default configuration
+
+
+Layout
+------
+
+ The directory layout is currently being restructured, and consists of
+ several platform directories and then the machine specific directories
+ of the CPUs being built for.
+
+ plat-samsung provides the base for all the implementations, and is the
+ last in the line of include directories that are processed for the build
+ specific information. It contains the base clock, GPIO and device definitions
+ to get the system running.
+
+ plat-s5p is for s5p specific builds, and contains common support for the
+ S5P specific systems. Not all S5Ps use all the features in this directory
+ due to differences in the hardware.
+
+
+Layout changes
+--------------
+
+ The old plat-s3c and plat-s5pc1xx directories have been removed, with
+ support moved to either plat-samsung or plat-s5p as necessary. These moves
+ where to simplify the include and dependency issues involved with having
+ so many different platform directories.
