Help text

This is the traditional way of passing data to the kernel at boot but is now only used by a few of the oldest ARMv4 and ARMv5 machines. Users that still rely on ATAGS should plan on migrating to devicetree based booting.

Support for ATAGS will be removed when the last machine using it is either converted to DT or removed.
