PATCH 1/4][v4] doc:Add documentation for e500 external debugger support

This describes requirement of e500 and e500v2 processor to support external
debugger.

It also provide an insight of the configuration switch required and their
description.

Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this
symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
purpose.

External Debug Support
----------------------
Freescale's e500v1 and e500v2 cores (used in mpc85xx chips) have some
restrictions on external debugging (JTAG). In particular, for the debugger to
be able to receive control after a single step or breakpoint:
- MSR[DE] must be set
- A valid opcode must be fetchable, through the MMU, from the debug
exception vector (IVPR + IVOR15).
To maximize the time during which this requirement is met, U-Boot sets MSR[DE]
immediately on entry and keeps it set. It also uses a temporary TLB to keep a
mapping to a valid opcode at the debug exception vector, even if we normally
don't support exception vectors being used that early, and that's not the area
where U-Boot currently executes from.
Note that there may still be some small windows where debugging will not work,
such as in between updating IVPR and IVOR15.
Config Switches:
----------------
Please refer README section "MPC85xx External Debug Support"
