meta-acrn is a Yocto Project layer repo with recipes for building a
Service and User VM OS using Yocto Project. While the information there
is sparse, for the experienced YP developer is might be enough.

ACRN 2.1 supports two virtual boot modes, deprivilege boot mode and
direct boot mode. The deprivilege boot mode’s main purpose is to support
booting Clear Linux Service VM with UEFI service support, but this
brings scalability problems when porting ACRN to new Intel platforms.
For the 2.2 release, deprivilege mode is removed, and only direct boot
is supported, and with this we've removed support for Clear Linux as the
service VM, which impacts over 50 ACRN documents. This PR removes
documents we don't intend to update, and fixes broken links that would
occur from references to these deleted docs.

Replace white/black master/slave terms with alternatives. We're not

code-block commands still using "master".

Also clear Linux is no longer supported either as SOS or post-launched VM kernel.

Update the "Run Kata Containers on a Service VM" tutorial to use ACRN v2.0. It
also uses Ubuntu 20.04 as the baseline instead of Ubuntu 18.04. The Kata
Containers installation method is different as there are no pre-built binaries
for Ubuntu 20.04 yet, so using the 'kata-deploy' approach instead which is more
generic.

This is a workaround for the issue in efi-stub: If the EFI option is loaded to a memory range which is not all zero filled,
it's possible the garbage string appended to bootloader name string.
Which could make system can't boot.
Add an extra space to the EFI option to make sure space could be used to detect the end of bootloader name string.
Once the fixing patch is merged, we don't need this extra space.
But to make old ACRN work, we'd like to keep the space here.
