Linus Torvalds 4eb77fa102 - Do some spring cleaning to the compressed boot code by moving the
EFI mixed-mode code to a separate compilation unit, the AMD memory
 encryption early code where it belongs and fixing up build dependencies.
 Make the deprecated EFI handover protocol optional with the goal of
 removing it at some point (Ard Biesheuvel)
 
 - Skip realmode init code on Xen PV guests as it is not needed there
 
 - Remove an old 32-bit PIC code compiler workaround

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
