This patch - unifies the old sclp early code and the sclp early printk code, so they can use common functions - makes sure all sclp early functions and variables have the same "sclp_early" prefix - converts the sclp early printk code into readable code by using existing data structures instead of hard coded magic arrays - splits the early sclp code into two files: sclp_early.c and sclp_early_core.c. The core file contains everything that is required by the kernel decompressor and may not call functions not contained within the core file. Otherwise the result would be a link error. - changes interrupt handling to be completely synchronous. The old early sclp code had a small window which allowed to receive several interrupts instead of exactly the single expected interrupt. This did hide a subtle potential bug, which is fixed with this large rework. - contains a couple of small cleanups.

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.
