MIPS: Document the cca= command-line parameter

Commit 351336929ccf222ae38ff0cb7a8dd5fd5c6236a0 ("[MIPS] Allow setting
of the cache attribute at run time") introduced the 'cca=' kernel
command-line parameter which allows overriding the kernel pages
cacheable attributes, document that parameter.

[ralf@linux-mips.org: replace @mips.com email addresses with it's imgtec.com
equivalent in this commit message.  Rephrase slightly for a bit more
pedantic correctness.]
