From V2.2, we use the iasl tool to compile offline
ACPI binary for pre-launched VMs while building ACRN,
so we need to install the iasl tool in the ACRN
building environment. This doc is to describe how
to install the iasl tool and specify the version of
iasl at the chapter Install build tools and dependencies.

Ivshmem hv-land solution emulates the ivshmem device in hypervisor
and the shared memory is reserved in the hypervisor's memory space.
And it can provide inter-vm communication for both pre-launched and
post-launched VMs.
This patch introduces the ivshmem hv-land solution including what
ivshmem hv-land is and how to use it.

ACRN 2.1 supports two virtual boot modes, deprivilege boot mode and
direct boot mode. The deprivilege boot mode’s main purpose is to support
booting Clear Linux Service VM with UEFI service support, but this
brings scalability problems when porting ACRN to new Intel platforms.
For the 2.2 release, deprivilege mode is removed, and only direct boot
is supported, and with this we've removed support for Clear Linux as the
service VM, which impacts over 50 ACRN documents. This PR removes
documents we don't intend to update, and fixes broken links that would
occur from references to these deleted docs.

Replace white/black master/slave terms with alternatives. We're not

code-block commands still using "master".

Also clear Linux is no longer supported either as SOS or post-launched VM kernel.
