Linus Torvalds f7d6a7283a powerpc fixes for 4.11 #3
Five fairly small fixes for things that went in this cycle.
 
 A fairly large patch to rework the CAS logic on Power9, necessitated by a late
 change to the firmware API, and we can't boot without it.
 
 Three fixes going to stable, allowing more instructions to be emulated on LE,
 fixing a boot crash on 32-bit Freescale BookE machines, and the OPAL XICS
 workaround.
 
 And a patch from me to sort the selects under CONFIG PPC. Annoying churn, but
 worth it in the long run, and best for it to go in now to avoid conflicts.
 
 Thanks to:
   Alexey Kardashevskiy, Anton Blanchard, Balbir Singh, Gautham R. Shenoy,
   Laurentiu Tudor, Nicholas Piggin, Paul Mackerras, Ravi Bangoria, Sachin Sant,
   Shile Zhang, Suraj Jitindar Singh.

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.
