Mark Rutland 6b31a2fa1e efi/arm*: Only register page tables when they exist
Currently the arm/arm64 runtime code registers the runtime servies
pagetables with ptdump regardless of whether runtime services page
tables have been created.

As efi_mm.pgd is NULL in these cases, attempting to dump the efi page
tables results in a NULL pointer dereference in the ptdump code:

Segmentation fault

Let's avoid this problem by only registering the tables after their
successful creation, which is also less confusing when EFI runtime
services are not in use.

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.
