[RFC PATCH] docs: add some notes on the sbsa-ref machine

[Alex Bennée]

We should at least document what this machine is about.

+Arm Server Base System Architecture Reference board (``sbsa-ref``)
+==================================================================
+
+While the `virt` board is a generic board platform that doesn't match
+any real hardware the `sbsa-ref` board intends to look like real
+hardware. The `Server Base System Architecture
+<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0029/latest>` defines a
+minimum base line of hardware support and importantly how the firmware
+reports that to any operating system. It is a static system that
+reports a very minimal DT to the firmware for command line input to
+the firmware. As a result it must have a firmware specifically built
+to expect a certain hardware layout (as you would in a real machine).
+
+It is intended to be a machine for developing firmware and testing
+standards compliance with operating systems.
+
+Supported devices
+"""""""""""""""""
+
+The sbsa-ref board supports:
+
+  - A configurable number of Cortex-A57 cpus
+  - GIC version 3
+  - System bus AHCI controller.
+  - System bus EHCI controller.
+  - CDROM and hard disc on AHCI bus.
+  - E1000E ethernet card on PCIE bus.
+  - VGA display adaptor on PCIE bus.
+  - A generic SBSA watchdog device
