Linus Torvalds 02897f5e56 Restructure the IPMI driver for 6.16
This is a restructure of the IPMI driver, mostly to remove SRCU.  The
 locking had issues, and they were not going to be straightforward to
 fix.  Plus it used tons of memory and was generally a pain.
 
 Most of this moves handling of messages out of bh and interrupt context
 and runs it in thread context.  Then getting rid of SRCU is easy.
 
 This also has a minor cleanup to remove a warning on newer GCCs and to
 fix some documentation.

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 reStructuredText 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.
