Ingo Molnar 7b3d61cc73 locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Disable CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT for the time being
Mike Galbraith bisected a boot crash back to the following commit:

  7a46ec0e2f ("locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Implement fast refcount overflow protection")

The crash/hang pattern is:

 > Symptom is a few splats as below, with box finally hanging.  Network
 > comes up, but neither ssh nor console login is possible.
 >
 >  ------------[ cut here ]------------
 >  WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 0 at net/netlink/af_netlink.c:374 netlink_sock_destruct+0x82/0xa0
 >  ...
 >  __sk_destruct()
 >  rcu_process_callbacks()
 >  __do_softirq()
 >  irq_exit()
 >  smp_apic_timer_interrupt()
 >  apic_timer_interrupt()

We are at -rc7 already, and the code has grown some dependencies, so
instead of a plain revert disable the config temporarily, in the hope
of getting real fixes.

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.
