There are WAs that, due to their nature, cannot be applied from a
central place like xe_wa.c. Those are peppered around the rest of the
code, as needed. Now they have a new name: "out-of-band workarounds".
These workarounds have their names and rules still grouped in xe_wa.c,
inside the xe_wa_oob array, which is generated at compile time by
xe_wa_oob.rules and the hostprog xe_gen_wa_oob. The code generation
guarantees that the header xe_wa_oob.h contains the IDs for the
workarounds that match the index in the table. This way the runtime
checks that are spread throughout the code are simple tests against the
bitmap saved during initialization.
v2: Fix prev_name tracking not working when it's empty, i.e. when there
is more than 1 continuation rule.

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.
