ARM720: help/usage updates
Deprecate the "pass an instruction opcode" flavor of cp15 access in favor of the "arm mcr ..." and "arm mrc ..." commands, which offer fewer ways to break things. Use the same EBNF syntax in the code as for the user's guide. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net>
