Dominik Brodowski af52201d99 x86/entry: Do not special-case clone(2) in compat entry
With the CPU renaming registers on its own, and all the overhead of the
syscall entry/exit, it is doubtful whether the compiled output of

	mov	%r8, %rax
	mov	%rcx, %r8
	mov	%rax, %rcx
	jmpq	sys_clone

is measurably slower than the hand-crafted version of

	xchg	%r8, %rcx

So get rid of this special case.

README

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.
