Documentation/x86: explain LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID
Since the Handover Protocol was deprecated, the recommended approach is
to provide an initrd using a UEFI boot service with the
LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path. Documentation for the new
approach has been no more than an admonition with a link to an existing
implementation.
Provide a short explanation of this functionality, to ease future
implementations without having to reverse engineer existing ones.
[Bagas: Don't use :ref: link to EFI stub documentation and refer to
OVMF/edk2 implementation]
