Update documentation for parameter *notrigger* in einj.txt
Add description of parameter notrigger in the einj.txt. One can utilize this new parameter to do some SRAR injection test. Pay attention, the operation is highly depended on the BIOS implementation. If no proper BIOS supports it, even if enabling this parameter, expected result will not happen. v2: Update the documentation suggested by Tony Suggested-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Chen Gong <gong.chen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

56- notrigger
57 The EINJ mechanism is a two step process. First inject the error, then
58 perform some actions to trigger it. Setting "notrigger" to 1 skips the
59 trigger phase, which *may* allow the user to cause the error in some other
60 context by a simple access to the cpu, memory location, or device that is
61 the target of the error injection. Whether this actually works depends
62 on what operations the BIOS actually includes in the trigger phase.
