Linus Torvalds cc5ada7ca3 Mostly small changes, as usual.
This does add an IPMI BMC server-side driver, to allow a Linux
 system to act as an IPMI controller.  That's the biggest change,
 but it is just a new driver that is fairly narrow in use.
 
 The other largish change is removing ACPI SPMI probe support,
 which should have never really been there in the beginning.

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.
