Dave Jiang 4b73e4ebd4 dmaengine: idxd: iax bus removal
There is no need to have an additional bus for the IAX device. The removal
of IAX will change user ABI as /sys/bus/iax will no longer exist.
The iax device will be moved to the dsa bus. The device id for dsa and
iax will now be combined rather than unique for each device type in order
to accommodate the iax devices. This is in preparation for fixing the
sub-driver code for idxd. There's no hardware deployment for Sapphire
Rapids platform yet, which means that users have no reason to have
developed scripts against this ABI. There is some exposure to
released versions of accel-config, but those are being fixed up and
an accel-config upgrade is reasonable to get IAX support. As far as
accel-config is concerned IAX support starts when these devices appear
under /sys/bus/dsa, and old accel-config just assumes that an empty /
missing /sys/bus/iax just means a lack of platform support.

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.
