We set empty registered buffers to dummy_ubuf as an optimisation. Currently, we allocate the dummy entry for each ring, whenever we can simply have one global instance. We're casting out const on assignment, it's fine as we're not going to change the content of the dummy, the constness gives us an extra layer of protection if sth ever goes wrong.

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.
