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.

Store and handle ethtool link mode masks within the driver instead of just a single u32. However, quite a significant amount of existing code wants to manipulate the masks directly, and thus now uses the first unsigned long (i.e. mask[0]) as though it were a legacy u32 mask. This is ok because all the bits that code is interested in are in the first 32 bits of the mask; but it might be a good idea to change them in future to use the proper bitmap API.
