We had the request to access devices very late when interrupts are not
available anymore multiple times now. Mostly to prepare shutdown or
reboot. Allow adapters to specify a specific callback for this case.
Note that we fall back to the generic {master|smbus}_xfer callback if
this new atomic one is not present. This is intentional to preserve the
previous behaviour and avoid regressions. Because there are drivers not
using interrupts or because it might have worked "accidently" before.

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.
