Merge tag 'for-linus-4.12b-rc0b-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip

Pull xen updates from Juergen Gross:
 "Xen fixes and featrues for 4.12. The main changes are:

   - enable building the kernel with Xen support but without enabling
     paravirtualized mode (Vitaly Kuznetsov)

   - add a new 9pfs xen frontend driver (Stefano Stabellini)

   - simplify Xen's cpuid handling by making use of cpu capabilities
     (Juergen Gross)

   - add/modify some headers for new Xen paravirtualized devices
     (Oleksandr Andrushchenko)

   - EFI reset_system support under Xen (Julien Grall)

   - and the usual cleanups and corrections"

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.
