IOPL emulation

> Hello Denis, Adrien,
> 
> I submit to you, three changes: document IOPL emulation on Linux,
> needed for internal flashing (and how to enable, if disabled, showing
> what error you would get if it's disabled - many kernels now disable
> IOPL emulation by default, but flashrom heavily needs ioperm/iopl to
> operate the internal flasher on x86). The two other patches: remove
> the
> unreviewed tag and convert the page to GNU Boot, remove the
> librebootizing from it. And a further patch cleaning up a bit.
> 
> For your convenience, the patches are also attached. Three patches,
> for
> your GNU Boot documentation. They apply on top of GNU Boot revision
> 881af84c9cddcdc329daa521d4aac7165427751d in your "main" branch.
