Linus Torvalds 6363b3f3ac IPMI updates for 4.15
This is signed by my new key (919BFF81), which is now signed by my
 old key.
 
 This is a fairly large rework of the IPMI code, along with a bunch
 of smaller fixes.  The major changes have been in the next tree for
 a couple of months, so they should be good to do in.
 
 - Some users had IPMI systems where the GUID of the IPMI controller
   could change.  So rescanning of the GUID was added.  The naming of
   some sysfs things was dependent on the GUID, however, so this
   resulted in the sysfs interface code in IPMI changing to remove that
   dependency and name the IPMI BMCs like other sysfs devices.
 
 - The ipmi_si_intf.c code was fairly bloated with all the different
   discovery methods (PCI, ACPI, SMBIOS, OF, platform, module parameters,
   hot add).  The structure of how the interfaces were added was redone
   to make them more modular, then the individual methods were pulled
   out into their own files.

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.
