This patch introduces a new ap_qact() function which exploits the PQAP(QACT) subfunction. QACT is a new interface to Query the Ap Compatilibity Type based on a given AP qid, type, mode and version. Based on this new function the AP bus scan code is slightly reworked to use this new interface for querying the compatible type for each new AP queue device detected. So new and unknown devices can get automatically mapped to a compatible type and handled without the need for toleration patches for every new hardware. The currently highest known hardware is CEX6S. With this patch a possible successor can get queried for a combatible type known by the device driver without the need for an toleration patch.

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.
