Miklos Szeredi 7f53b7d047 UUID/GUID updates:
- introduce the new uuid_t/guid_t types that are going to replace
    the somewhat confusing uuid_be/uuid_le types and make the terminology
    fit the various specs, as well as the userspace libuuid library.
    (me, based on a previous version from Amir)
  - consolidated generic uuid/guid helper functions lifted from XFS
    and libnvdimm (Amir and me)
  - conversions to the new types and helpers (Amir, Andy and me)

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.
