ACPI/APEI: Update einj documentation for param1/param2
To ensure EINJ working well when injecting errors via EINJ table, add some restrictions: param1 must be a valid physical RAM address and param2 must specify page granularity or narrower. Signed-off-by: Chen Gong <gong.chen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
