Linus Torvalds 5ccd414080 Second round of KVM Changes for v4.12:
* ARM: bugfixes; moved shared 32-bit/64-bit files to virt/kvm/arm;
 support for saving/restoring virtual ITS state to userspace
 
 * PPC: XIVE (eXternal Interrupt Virtualization Engine) support
 
 * x86: nVMX improvements, including emulated page modification logging
 (PML) which brings nice performance improvements on some workloads

README

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.
