Add definitions for hotplug device masks and events offsets, in order to specify explicitly all hardware registers allowed for IO operations for all the drivers sharing register map with mlx-platform. Extend register map configuration with the sets of writable, readable and volatile registers to allow verification prior to the access. It prevents unexpected access to hardware registers by the drivers, sharing register map with mlx-platform. Extend register map configuration with cache type field in order to have ability to cache hardware register value, where possible. Use simple flat array type for register lookups, which is most suitable in case when the number of the registers is not too large. Add at the end of probing routine calls to regcache_mark_dirty and regcache_sync in order to sync register cache with hardware values. The first routine indicate that hardware registers value required sync, the second performs sync.

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.
