Could these doc changes not go in patch 3?

This is not the actual work around - perhaps this should be
etm4_core_reads_wrong_ccitmin()?

Not sure this check matters - fixed cores will be 4, non fixed cores
as identified by the list need to be 4, we don't care what the read
value is if the core is on the list.
