docs: move openrisc documentation under Documentation/arch/
Architecture-specific documentation is being moved into Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning up the top-level documentation directory and making the docs hierarchy more closely match the source hierarchy. Move Documentation/openrisc into arch/ and fix all in-tree references.

+==============
+OpenRISC Linux
+==============
+
+This is a port of Linux to the OpenRISC class of microprocessors; the initial
+target architecture, specifically, is the 32-bit OpenRISC 1000 family (or1k).
+
+For information about OpenRISC processors and ongoing development:
+
+ ======= =============================
+ website https://openrisc.io
+ email openrisc@lists.librecores.org
+ ======= =============================
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Build instructions for OpenRISC toolchain and Linux
+===================================================
+
+In order to build and run Linux for OpenRISC, you'll need at least a basic
+toolchain and, perhaps, the architectural simulator. Steps to get these bits
+in place are outlined here.
+
+1) Toolchain
+
+Toolchain binaries can be obtained from openrisc.io or our github releases page.
+Instructions for building the different toolchains can be found on openrisc.io
+or Stafford's toolchain build and release scripts.
+
+ ========== =================================================
+ binaries https://github.com/openrisc/or1k-gcc/releases
+ toolchains https://openrisc.io/software
+ building https://github.com/stffrdhrn/or1k-toolchain-build
+ ========== =================================================
+
+2) Building
+
+Build the Linux kernel as usual::
+
+ make ARCH=openrisc CROSS_COMPILE="or1k-linux-" defconfig
+ make ARCH=openrisc CROSS_COMPILE="or1k-linux-"
+
+3) Running on FPGA (optional)
+
+The OpenRISC community typically uses FuseSoC to manage building and programming
+an SoC into an FPGA. The below is an example of programming a De0 Nano
+development board with the OpenRISC SoC. During the build FPGA RTL is code
+downloaded from the FuseSoC IP cores repository and built using the FPGA vendor
+tools. Binaries are loaded onto the board with openocd.
+
+::
+
+ git clone https://github.com/olofk/fusesoc
+ cd fusesoc
+ sudo pip install -e .
+
+ fusesoc init
+ fusesoc build de0_nano
+ fusesoc pgm de0_nano
+
+ openocd -f interface/altera-usb-blaster.cfg \
+ -f board/or1k_generic.cfg
+
+ telnet localhost 4444
+ > init
+ > halt; load_image vmlinux ; reset
+
+4) Running on a Simulator (optional)
+
+QEMU is a processor emulator which we recommend for simulating the OpenRISC
+platform. Please follow the OpenRISC instructions on the QEMU website to get
+Linux running on QEMU. You can build QEMU yourself, but your Linux distribution
+likely provides binary packages to support OpenRISC.
+
+ ============= ======================================================
+ qemu openrisc https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms/OpenRISC
+ ============= ======================================================
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Terminology
+===========
+
+In the code, the following particles are used on symbols to limit the scope
+to more or less specific processor implementations:
+
+========= =======================================
+openrisc: the OpenRISC class of processors
+or1k: the OpenRISC 1000 family of processors
+or1200: the OpenRISC 1200 processor
+========= =======================================

+TODO
+====
+
+The OpenRISC Linux port is fully functional and has been tracking upstream
+since 2.6.35. There are, however, remaining items to be completed within
+the coming months. Here's a list of known-to-be-less-than-stellar items
+that are due for investigation shortly, i.e. our TODO list:
+
+- Implement the rest of the DMA API... dma_map_sg, etc.
+
+- Finish the renaming cleanup... there are references to or32 in the code
+ which was an older name for the architecture. The name we've settled on is
+ or1k and this change is slowly trickling through the stack. For the time
+ being, or32 is equivalent to or1k.
