Linus Torvalds 3ef3ace4e2 - Split MTRR and PAT init code to accomodate at least Xen PV and TDX
guests which do not get MTRRs exposed but only PAT. (TDX guests do not
 support the cache disabling dance when setting up MTRRs so they fall
 under the same category.) This is a cleanup work to remove all the ugly
 workarounds for such guests and init things separately (Juergen Gross)
 
 - Add two new Intel CPUs to the list of CPUs with "normal" Energy
 Performance Bias, leading to power savings
 
 - Do not do bus master arbitration in C3 (ARB_DISABLE) on modern Centaur
 CPUs

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 Restructured Text 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.
