docs/specs/acpi_mem_hotplug: Convert to rST
Convert the acpi memory hotplug spec to rST. Note that this includes converting a lot of weird whitespace characters to plain old spaces (the rST parser does not like whatever the old ones were).

+QEMU<->ACPI BIOS memory hotplug interface
+=========================================
+
+ACPI BIOS GPE.3 handler is dedicated for notifying OS about memory hot-add
+and hot-remove events.
+
+Memory hot-plug interface (IO port 0xa00-0xa17, 1-4 byte access)
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Read access behavior
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+[0x0-0x3]
+ Lo part of memory device phys address
+[0x4-0x7]
+ Hi part of memory device phys address
+[0x8-0xb]
+ Lo part of memory device size in bytes
+[0xc-0xf]
+ Hi part of memory device size in bytes
+[0x10-0x13]
+ Memory device proximity domain
+[0x14]
+ Memory device status fields
+
+ bits:
+
+ 0:
+ Device is enabled and may be used by guest
+ 1:
+ Device insert event, used to distinguish device for which
+ no device check event to OSPM was issued.
+ It's valid only when bit 1 is set.
+ 2:
+ Device remove event, used to distinguish device for which
+ no device eject request to OSPM was issued.
+ 3-7:
+ reserved and should be ignored by OSPM
+
+[0x15-0x17]
+ reserved
+
+Write access behavior
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+
+[0x0-0x3]
+ Memory device slot selector, selects active memory device.
+ All following accesses to other registers in 0xa00-0xa17
+ region will read/store data from/to selected memory device.
+[0x4-0x7]
+ OST event code reported by OSPM
+[0x8-0xb]
+ OST status code reported by OSPM
+[0xc-0x13]
+ reserved, writes into it are ignored
+[0x14]
+ Memory device control fields
+
+ bits:
+
+ 0:
+ reserved, OSPM must clear it before writing to register.
+ Due to BUG in versions prior 2.4 that field isn't cleared
+ when other fields are written. Keep it reserved and don't
+ try to reuse it.
+ 1:
+ if set to 1 clears device insert event, set by OSPM
+ after it has emitted device check event for the
+ selected memory device
+ 2:
+ if set to 1 clears device remove event, set by OSPM
+ after it has emitted device eject request for the
+ selected memory device
+ 3:
+ if set to 1 initiates device eject, set by OSPM when it
+ triggers memory device removal and calls _EJ0 method
+ 4-7:
+ reserved, OSPM must clear them before writing to register
+
+Selecting memory device slot beyond present range has no effect on platform:
+
+- write accesses to memory hot-plug registers not documented above are ignored
+- read accesses to memory hot-plug registers not documented above return
+ all bits set to 1.
