Linus Torvalds edc57ea92c remoteproc updates for v4.10
Introduces remoteproc "subdevice" support, which allows remoteproc
 driver to associate devices to the "running" state of the remoteproc,
 allowing devices to be probed and removed as the remote processor is
 booted, shut down or recovering from a crash.
 
 Handling of virtio device resources was improved, vring memory is now
 allocated as part of other memory allocation. This ensures that all
 vrings for all virtio devices are allocated before we boot the remote
 processor.
 
 The debugfs mechanism for starting and stopping remoteproc instances was
 replaced with a sysfs interface, also providing a mechanism for
 specifying firmware to use by the instance. This allows user space to
 load and boot use case specific firmware on remote processors.
 
 New drivers for the ST Slimcore and Qualcomm Hexagon DSP as well as
 removal of the unused StE modem loader.
 
 Finally support for crash recovery in the Qualcomm Wirelss subsystem
 (used for WiFi/BT/FM on a number of platforms) and a number of bug fixes
 and cleanups.

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.
