Rework of the ap_dqap() inline function with the dqap inline assembler invocation and the caller code in ap_queue.c to be able to handle replies which exceed the receive buffer size. ap_dqap() now provides two additional parameters to handle together with the caller the case where a reply in the firmware queue entry exceeds the given message buffer size. It depends on the caller how to exactly handle this. The behavior implemented now by ap_sm_recv() in ap_queue.c is to simple purge this entry from the firmware queue and let the caller 'receive' a -EMSGSIZE for the request without delivering any reply data - not even a truncated reply message. However, the reworked ap_dqap() could now get invoked in a way that the message is received in multiple parts and the caller assembles the parts into one reply message.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
