Rework alternatives to allow for callbacks. With this every alternative entry has additional data encoded: - When (aka context) an alternative is supposed to be applied - The type of an alternative, which allows for type specific handling and callbacks - Extra type specific payload (patch information), which can be passed to callbacks in order to decide if an alternative should be applied or not With this only the "late" context is implemented, which means there is no change to the previous behaviour. All code is just converted to the more generic new infrastructure.

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 reStructuredText 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.
