Juergen Gross edcb5cf84f x86/paravirt/xen: Remove xen_patch()
Xen's paravirt patch function xen_patch() does some special casing for
irq_ops functions to apply relocations when those functions can be
patched inline instead of calls.

Unfortunately none of the special case function replacements is small
enough to be patched inline, so the special case never applies.

As xen_patch() will call paravirt_patch_default() in all cases it can
be just dropped. xen-asm.h doesn't seem necessary without xen_patch()
as the only thing left in it would be the definition of XEN_EFLAGS_NMI
used only once. So move that definition and remove xen-asm.h.

README

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.
