arm: add documentation describing Marvell families of SoC
As stated in the introduction of the document, the families of ARM SoCs at Marvell are very complicated, and it is difficult for newcomers to understand the organization of this SoC family and how it relates to the Linux kernel support for those hardware platforms. This document is only at RFC stage for now, it requires reviews and comments from the Marvell maintainers, the PXA maintainers and the MMP maintainers. For correctness of course, but also to add any other information that would be useful. For example, one of the thing that wasn't clear how to detail in the documentation is how the SoCs relate to each other in terms of hardware IP blocks. For example, most of the Kirkwood/Dove/Armada 370-XP/etc. hardware IPs (I2C, SPI, USB, SATA, etc.) are identical, while the PXA and MMP families are completely separate.
