Linus Torvalds fb4e3beeff IOMMU Updates for Linux v4.13
This update comes with:
 
 	* Support for lockless operation in the ARM io-pgtable code.
 	  This is an important step to solve the scalability problems in
 	  the common dma-iommu code for ARM
 
 	* Some Errata workarounds for ARM SMMU implemenations
 
 	* Rewrite of the deferred IO/TLB flush code in the AMD IOMMU
 	  driver. The code suffered from very high flush rates, with the
 	  new implementation the flush rate is down to ~1% of what it
 	  was before
 
 	* Support for amd_iommu=off when booting with kexec. Problem
 	  here was that the IOMMU driver bailed out early without
 	  disabling the iommu hardware, if it was enabled in the old
 	  kernel
 
 	* The Rockchip IOMMU driver is now available on ARM64
 
 	* Align the return value of the iommu_ops->device_group
 	  call-backs to not miss error values
 
 	* Preempt-disable optimizations in the Intel VT-d and common
 	  IOVA code to help Linux-RT
 
 	* Various other small cleanups and fixes

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.
