Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel:
 "This update comes with:

   - Support for lockless operation in the ARM io-pgtable code.

     This is an important step to solve the scalability problems in the
     common dma-iommu code for ARM

   - Some Errata workarounds for ARM SMMU implemenations

   - Rewrite of the deferred IO/TLB flush code in the AMD IOMMU driver.

     The code suffered from very high flush rates, with the new
     implementation the flush rate is down to ~1% of what it was before

   - Support for amd_iommu=off when booting with kexec.

     The problem here was that the IOMMU driver bailed out early without
     disabling the iommu hardware, if it was enabled in the old kernel

   - The Rockchip IOMMU driver is now available on ARM64

   - Align the return value of the iommu_ops->device_group call-backs to
     not miss error values

   - Preempt-disable optimizations in the Intel VT-d and common IOVA
     code to help Linux-RT

   - Various other small cleanups and fixes"

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.
