Current `Getting Started` section only contains steps for the x86_64
platform, as we have a documentation doing the same thing for AArch64,
we can point users to the correct documentation.
Also, this commit modifies the `docs/arm64.md` to fit the documentation
style within the project.

The proper way to refer to the project is "Cloud Hypervisor" without the

Change the block size to the standard 512 byte sector size to that
disk images can be used (since their partition tables will be specified
in terms of 512 byte sectors.)
Also remove the hugepages=on option from the command line as it is not
necessary.

Replacing QCOW mentions with other viable options. There is still

With recent kernels, it is now expected to use "bind" control from the
sysfs in order to bind a specific device to the vfio-pci driver.
The use of "new_id" is still required but it is only needed once per
device type. Let's say you want to bind two virtio-net devices, you will
need to add the device_id:vendor_id pair through "new_id", while you
will be required to use "bind" for each device.

The MCRS method returns a 64-bit memory range descriptor. The
calculation is supposed to be done as follows:
max = min + len - 1
However, every operand is represented not as a QWORD but as combination
of two DWORDs for high and low part. Till now, the calculation was done
this way, please see also inline comments:
max.lo = min.lo + len.lo //this may overflow, need to carry over to high
max.hi = min.hi + len.hi
max.hi = max.hi - 1 // subtraction needs to happen on the low part
This calculation has been corrected the following way:
max.lo = min.lo + len.lo
max.hi = min.hi + len.hi + (max.lo < min.lo) // check for overflow
max.lo = max.lo - 1 // subtract from low part
The relevant part from the generated ASL for the MCRS method:
```
