xillybus.txt: standardize document format
Each text file under Documentation follows a different format. Some doesn't even have titles! Change its representation to follow the adopted standard, using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx: - Adjust indentation; - Mark authorship; - Comment internal contents table; - Mark literal blocks; - Don't use all-upercase titles.

In order to support the "poll" method (and hence select() ), there is a small
catch regarding the FPGA to host direction: The FPGA may have filled a DMA
