Commit e900a918b098 ("mm: shuffle initial free memory to improve
memory-side-cache utilization") promised "autodetection of a
memory-side-cache (to be added in a follow-on patch)" over a year ago.
The original series included patches [1], however, they were dropped
during review [2] to be followed-up later.
Due to lack of platforms that publish an HMAT, autodetection is currently
not implemented. However, manual activation is actively used [3]. Let's
simplify for now and re-add when really (ever?) needed.

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.
