Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== net: remove non-Ethernet drivers using virt_to_bus() Networking is currently the main offender in using virt_to_bus(). Frankly all the drivers which use it are super old and unlikely to be used today. They are just an ongoing maintenance burden. In other words this series is using virt_to_bus() as an excuse to shed some old stuff. Having done the tree-wide dev_addr_set() conversion recently I have limited sympathy for carrying dead code. Obviously please scream if any of these drivers _is_ in fact still being used. Otherwise let's take the chance, we can always apologize and revert if users show up later. Also I should say thanks to everyone who contributed to this code! The work continues to be appreciated although realistically in more of a "history book" fashion... ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
