Documentation: Add some hardware hints for real-time

Some thoughts on hardware that is used for real-time workload. Certainly
not complete but should cover some of the import topics such as:

- Main memory, caches and the possiblie control given by the hardware.
- What could happen by putting critical hardware behind USB or VirtIO.
- Allowing real-time tasks to consume the CPU entirely without giving
  the system some time to breath.
- Networking with what the kernel provides.
