Linus Torvalds 16b76293c5 Merge branch 'x86-boot-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 boot updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The biggest changes in this cycle were:

   - reworking of the e820 code: separate in-kernel and boot-ABI data
     structures and apply a whole range of cleanups to the kernel side.

     No change in functionality.

   - enable KASLR by default: it's used by all major distros and it's
     out of the experimental stage as well.

   - ... misc fixes and cleanups"

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.
