Mainline Linux tree for various devices, only for fun :)

The ION android code has long been marked to be removed, now that we dma-buf support merged into the real part of the kernel. It was thought that we could wait to remove the ion kernel at a later time, but as the out-of-tree Android fork of the ion code has diverged quite a bit, and any Android device using the ion interface uses that forked version and not this in-tree version, the in-tree copy of the code is abandonded and not used by anyone. Combine this abandoned codebase with the need to make changes to it in order to keep the kernel building properly, which then causes merge issues when merging those changes into the out-of-tree Android code, and you end up with two different groups of people (the in-kernel-tree developers, and the Android kernel developers) who are both annoyed at the current situation. Because of this problem, just drop the in-kernel copy of the ion code now, as it's not used, and is only causing problems for everyone involved.

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.
