The hypervisor generated wrapping key is an AES-GCM-256 symmetric key which
is stored in a non-volatile, secure, and encrypted storage called the Power
LPAR Platform KeyStore. It has policy based protections that prevent it
from being read out or exposed to the user.
Implement H_PKS_GEN_KEY, H_PKS_WRAP_OBJECT, and H_PKS_UNWRAP_OBJECT HCALLs
to enable using the PowerVM Key Wrapping Module (PKWM) as a new trust
source for trusted keys. Disallow H_PKS_READ_OBJECT, H_PKS_SIGNED_UPDATE,
and H_PKS_WRITE_OBJECT for objects with the 'wrapping key' policy set.
Capture the availability status for the H_PKS_WRAP_OBJECT interface.

The root document usually has a special :ref:`genindex` link to the
generated index. This is also the case for Documentation/index.rst. The
other index.rst files deeper in the directory hierarchy usually don't.
For SPHINXDIRS builds, the root document isn't Documentation/index.rst,
but some other index.rst in the hierarchy. Currently they have a
".. only::" block to add the index link when doing SPHINXDIRS html
builds.
This is obviously very tedious and repetitive. The link is also added to
all index.rst files in the hierarchy for SPHINXDIRS builds, not just the
root document.
Put the boilerplate in a sphinx-includes/subproject-index.rst file, and
include it at the end of the root document for subproject builds in an
ad-hoc source-read extension defined in conf.py.
For now, keep having the boilerplate in translations, because this
approach currently doesn't cover translated index link headers.

The patch titled ("powerpc: make fadump resilient with memory add/remove
events") has made significant changes to the implementation of fadump,
particularly on elfcorehdr creation and fadump crash info header
structure. Therefore, updating the fadump implementation documentation
to reflect those changes.
Following updates are done to firmware assisted dump documentation:
1. The elfcorehdr is no longer stored after fadump HDR in the reserved
dump area. Instead, the second kernel dynamically allocates memory
for the elfcorehdr within the address range from 0 to the boot memory
size. Therefore, update figures 1 and 2 of Memory Reservation during
the first and second kernels to reflect this change.
2. A version field has been added to the fadump header to manage the
future changes to fadump crash info header structure without changing
the fadump header magic number in the future. Therefore, remove the
corresponding TODO from the document.

The kernel-feat directive passes its argument straight to the shell.
This is unfortunate and unnecessary.
Let's always use paths relative to $srctree/Documentation/ and use
subprocess.check_call() instead of subprocess.Popen(shell=True).
This also makes the code shorter.
This is analogous to commit 3231dd5862 ("docs: kernel_abi.py: fix
command injection") where we did exactly the same thing for
kernel_abi.py, somehow I completely missed this one.
