====================
mlxsw: Remove XM support
The XM was supposed to be an external device connected to the
Spectrum-{2,3} ASICs using dedicated Ethernet ports. Its purpose was to
increase the number of routes that can be offloaded to hardware. This was
achieved by having the ASIC act as a cache that refers cache misses to the
XM where the FIB is stored and LPM lookup is performed.
Testing was done over an emulator and dedicated setups in the lab, but
the product was discontinued before shipping to customers.
Therefore, in order to remove dead code and reduce complexity of the
code base, revert the three patchsets that added XM support.

============
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.
