[microblaze-uclinux] PetaLinux documentation update

[John Williams <jwilliams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

There has been some discussion lately about using PetaLinux under 
Windows, and the idea of split Linux/Windows environments.

I've just added a page in the PetaLinux documentation about this - 
basically I'm suggesting the best way to go (if you must do it at all) 
is to install PetaLinux on one of the machines, and setup a network 
share across to the other.

Do the HW work under Windows, and the SW/Linux work under Linux.

The virtual machine approach is just a specialisation of this - share 
the petalinux install tree between the host (windows) and guest (linux) 
OSes, and off you go.

Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions on how this 
can be improved.

As a consequence I've also added a minor rant on the FAQ about why you 
should use Linux on the desktop, if you are doing embedded Linux 
development.  Feel free to ignore, heckle or otherwise disagree!
