[PLUG] Introduction to Apple Silicon

[Walt Mankowski via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

Here's more than you probably ever wanted to know about the boot
process on Apple's ARM chips, from the folks who are porting Linux to
the platform:

Apple Silicon is surprisingly open to third-party OSes. From the intro
to the document:

  Apple's approach to third-party OSes is essentially "have fun". We
  do not have any expectations of direct support, documentation, or
  additional development effort from them, nor do we expect them to
  attempt to hinder third-party OSes in any deliberate way. They have
  explicitly developed the ability to securely run third-party OSes and
  bootloaders on these machines, and left the rest to us.
