Linus Torvalds be941bf2e6 SCSI fixes on 20170524
This is quite a big update because it includes a rework of the lpfc
 driver to separate the NVMe part from the FC part.  The reason for
 doing this is because two separate trees (the nvme and scsi trees
 respectively) want to update the individual components and this
 separation will prevent a really nasty cross tree entanglement by the
 time we reach the next merge window.  The rest of the fixes are the
 usual minor sort with no significant security implications.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
