This patch prepares a simplification of bit operations between the irq pending mask for emulated interrupts and the Interruption Pending Mask (IPM) which is part of the Guest Interruption State Area (GISA), a feature that allows interrupt delivery to guests by means of the SIE instruction. Without that change, a bit-wise *or* operation on parts of these two masks would either require a look-up table of size 256 bytes to map the IPM to the emulated irq pending mask bit orientation (all bits mirrored at half byte) or a sequence of up to 8 condidional branches to perform tests of single bit positions. Both options are to be rejected either by performance or space utilization reasons. Beyond that this change will be transparent.

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.
