MIPS: Use the entry point from the ELF file header
In order to fetch the correct entry point with the ISA bit included, for
use by non-ELF boot loaders, parse the output of `objdump -f' for the
start address recorded in the kernel executable itself, rather than
using `nm' to get the value of the `kernel_entry' symbol.

Sign-extend the address retrieved if 32-bit, so that execution is
correctly started on 64-bit processors as well.  The tool always prints
the entry point using either 8 or 16 hexadecimal digits, matching the
address width (aka class) of the ELF file, even in the presence of
leading zeros.

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.
