Pull x86 iopl updates from Ingo Molnar: "This implements a nice simplification of the iopl and ioperm code that Thomas Gleixner discovered: we can implement the IO privilege features of the iopl system call by using the IO permission bitmap in permissive mode, while trapping CLI/STI/POPF/PUSHF uses in user-space if they change the interrupt flag. This implements that feature, with testing facilities and related cleanups" [ "Simplification" may be an over-statement. The main goal is to avoid the cli/sti of iopl by effectively implementing the IO port access parts of iopl in terms of ioperm. This may end up not workign well in case people actually depend on cli/sti being available, or if there are mixed uses of iopl and ioperm.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
