There are many "force an error till we get a good number" comments in
target/board files. This refers to the use-case where a config script
sets _CPUTAPID to 0xffffffff (which presumely gets overridden later):
if { [info exists CPUTAPID ] } {
set _CPUTAPID $CPUTAPID
} else {
# Force an error until we get a good number.
set _CPUTAPID 0xffffffff
}
However, the same comment was also copy-pasted in many files which do
_not_ set _CPUTAPID to 0xffffffff, where the comment doesn't make any
sense at all. Drop those comments. Also, add one missing comment, and
fix small whitespace and grammar issues.

The semantics of "-work-area-virt 0" (or phys) changed with
the patch to require specifying physical or virtrual work
area addresses. Specifying zero was previously a NOP. Now
it means that address zero is valid.
This patch addresses three related issues:
- MMU-less processors should never specify work-area-virt;
remove those specifications. Such processors include
ARM7TDMI, Cortex-M3, and ARM966.
- MMU-equipped processors *can* specify work-area-virt...
but zero won't be appropriate, except in mischievous
contexts (which hide null pointer exceptions).
Remove those specs from those processors too. If any of
those mappings is valid, someone will need to submit a
patch adding it ... along with a comment saying what OS
provides the mapping, and in which context. Example,
say "works with Linux 2.6.30+, in kernel mode". (Note
that ARM Linux doesn't map kernel memory to zero ...)
- Clarify docs on that "-virt" and other work area stuff.
Seems to me work-area-virt is quite problematic; not every
operating system provides such static mappings; if they do,
they're not in every MMU context...
