Nathan Fontenot 2c10636a0b powerpc/pseries: Check for zero filled ibm,dynamic-memory property
Some versions of QEMU will produce an ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory
node with a ibm,dynamic-memory property that is zero-filled. This
causes the drmem code to oops trying to parse this property.

The fix for this is to validate that the property does contain LMB
entries before trying to parse it and bail if the count is zero.

  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
  DAR: 0000000000000010
  NIP read_drconf_v1_cell+0x54/0x9c

The ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory device tree property generated
that causes this:

          ibm,memory-flags-mask = <0xff>;

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.
