Pull MIPS updates from James Hogan:
 "Here's the main MIPS pull request for 4.11.

  It contains a few new features such as IRQ stacks, cacheinfo support,
  and KASLR for Octeon CPUs, and a variety of smaller improvements and
  fixes including devicetree additions, kexec cleanups, microMIPS stack
  unwinding fixes, and a bunch of build fixes to clean up continuous
  integration builds.

  Its all been in linux-next for at least a couple of days, most of it
  far longer.

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.
