Linus Torvalds 38705613b7 powerpc updates for 4.11 part 1.
Highlights include:
 
  - Support for direct mapped LPC on POWER9, giving Linux direct access to
    devices that may be on there such as a UART.
 
  - Memory hotplug support for the Power9 Radix MMU.
 
  - Add new AUX vectors describing the processor's cache geometry, to be used by
    glibc.
 
  - The ability for a guest to ask the hypervisor to resize the guest's hash
    table, and in addition support for doing so automatically when memory is
    hotplugged into/out-of the guest. This allows the hash table to be sized
    based on the current memory usage of the guest, rather than the maximum
    possible memory usage.
 
  - Implementation of optprobes (kprobe optimisation) for powerpc.
 
 In addition there's the topic branch shared with the KVM tree, which includes
 support for guests to use the Radix MMU on Power9.

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.
