Linux kernel source tree

The `from_bytes*` family of functions expect a slice of the exact same size as the requested type. This can be sometimes cumbersome for callers that deal with dynamic stream of data that needs to be manually cut before each invocation of `from_bytes`. To simplify such callers, introduce a new `from_bytes*_prefix` family of methods, which split the input slice at the index required for the equivalent `from_bytes` method to succeed, and return its result alongside with the remainder of the slice. This design is inspired by zerocopy's `try_*_from_prefix` family of methods.

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.
