David B. Kinder bd57475854 doc: add iomem kernel parameter for board inspector
Without this ``iomem=relaxed`` kernel parameter, the generated board XML
is essentially the same as having ``--basic`` when executing the board
inspector, i.e. the ACPI namespace will not be parsed. The generated
board XML may still work, but some functionality (e.g. passthru of TPM
and other PCI devices that need INTx) will no longer work due to lack of
hardware information.

board_parser.py will collect all board related info and then generate a board info file for acrn-config host tool usage.
usage: python3 board_inspector.py <board_name> [--out board_info_file]
board_name : the name of board that run ACRN hypervisor, like apl-up2/nuc7i7dnb. It will be used as name of the board configurations folder which created by acrn-config host tool.
board_info_file : (optional) the name of board info file. if it is not specified, a name of <board_name>.xml will be generated under the current working directory by default.
Please run this script under native Linux environment with root privilege.
OS requirement:
Release: Ubuntu 18.04+
Tools: cpuid, rdmsr, lspci, lxml, dmidecode (optional)
kernel cmdline: "idle=nomwait iomem=relaxed intel_idle.max_cstate=0 intel_pstate=disable"
