Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
1f7563f743
This topic branch covers a fundamental change in how our sg lists are allocated to make mq more efficient by reducing the size of the preallocated sg list. This necessitates a large number of driver changes because the previous guarantee that if a driver specified SG_ALL as the size of its scatter list, it would get a non-chained list and didn't need to bother with scatterlist iterators is now broken and every driver *must* use scatterlist iterators. This was broken out as a separate topic because we need to convert all the drivers before pulling the trigger and unconverted drivers kept being found, necessitating a rebase.

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.
