[PATCH 4/8] Documentation: kernel-parameters.txt cleanups

[Randy Dunlap]

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

General cleanups to kernel-parameters.txt:
- add missing $ARCH that are being used/referenced
- alphabetize the parameter restrictions list
- spell "IA-64" as listed in arch/ia64/Kconfig instead of "IA64"
- remove trailing whitespace
- use hyphen in 32-bit etc.
