Linus Torvalds 93173b5bf2 Small release, the most interesting stuff is x86 nested virt improvements.
x86: userspace can now hide nested VMX features from guests; nested
 VMX can now run Hyper-V in a guest; support for AVX512_4VNNIW and
 AVX512_FMAPS in KVM; infrastructure support for virtual Intel GPUs.
 
 PPC: support for KVM guests on POWER9; improved support for interrupt
 polling; optimizations and cleanups.
 
 s390: two small optimizations, more stuff is in flight and will be
 in 4.11.
 
 ARM: support for the GICv3 ITS on 32bit platforms.

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.
