Linus Torvalds ed3c5a0be3 virtio, vhost: new device, fixes, speedups
This includes the new virtio crypto device, and fixes all over the
 place.  In particular enabling endian-ness checks for sparse builds
 found some bugs which this fixes.  And it appears that everyone is in
 agreement that disabling endian-ness sparse checks shouldn't be
 necessary any longer.
 
 So this enables them for everyone, and drops __CHECK_ENDIAN__
 and __bitwise__ APIs.
 
 IRQ handling in virtio has been refactored somewhat, the
 larger switch to IRQ_SHARED will have to wait as
 it proved too aggressive.

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.
