lguest: document 32-bit and PAE requirements
Robert noted that we don't actually document that lguest is 32-bit only, nor that PAE must be off (CONFIG_PAE is now prompted for if HIGHMEM is set to "off). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: lguest@ozlabs.org Cc: "Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@crashcourse.ca>
