mainlining shenanigans

Here is an implementation of an allocator that allocates blue flame registers. A blue flame register is used for generating send doorbells. A blue flame register can be used to generate either a regular doorbell or a blue flame doorbell where the data to be sent is written to the device's I/O memory hence saving the need to read the data from memory. For blue flame kind of doorbells to succeed, the blue flame register need to be mapped as write combining. The user can specify what kind of send doorbells she wishes to use. If she requested write combining mapping but that failed, the allocator will fall back to non write combining mapping and will indicate that to the user. Subsequent patches in this series will make use of this allocator.

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.
