[PATCH 0/1] [GSoC - x86_64] User documentation for BSP

The built documentation can more easily be viewed here:
http://whatthedude.com/rtems/user/html/bsps/bsps-x86_64.html

It feels a bit convoluted to me at the moment. I'd appreciate feedback on how
the documentation may be made more understandable, and on whether the current
approach even seems sustainable - specifically, using FreeBSD's bootloader ties
us into using the UFS filesystem and can slow down the iterative-development
process.

In my opinion, this system is good _enough_ for now - we can explore other
options later if time permits, but I'd love to hear differing opinions.

P.S. - Joel asked earlier if the QEMU that the RSB builds will suffice - for me,
it didn't because in it "SDL support is disabled" (and so are all other graphics
options). It's likely possible to install FreeBSD without graphics, it may not
be worth the effort of setting up - it's likely easier to update the RSB's QEMU
to also build graphics support.

P.P.S. - Some of the documentation is double-spaced, but this patch isn't. Let me
know if it ought to be (the README didn't say anything of the sort, and it isn't
consistent throughout).
