Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A couple of fixes addressing the following issues:

   - The last polishing for the TLB code, removing the last BUG_ON() and
     the debug file along with tidying up the lazy TLB code.

   - Prevent triple fault on 1st Gen. 486 caused by stupidly calling the
     early IDT setup after the first function which causes a fault which
     should be caught by the exception table.

   - Limit the mmap of /dev/mem to valid addresses

   - Prevent late microcode loading on Broadwell X

   - Remove a redundant assignment in the cache info code"

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.
