Tom Lendacky f99afd08a4 efi: Update efi_mem_type() to return an error rather than 0
The efi_mem_type() function currently returns a 0, which maps to
EFI_RESERVED_TYPE, if the function is unable to find a memmap entry for
the supplied physical address. Returning EFI_RESERVED_TYPE implies that
a memmap entry exists, when it doesn't.  Instead of returning 0, change
the function to return a negative error value when no memmap entry is
found.

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.
