Using a clear page for scratch means that we have relatively benign errors in case it is accidentally used, but that can be rather too benign for debugging. If we poison the scratch, ideally it quickly results in an obvious error. v2: Set each page individually just in case we are using highmem for our scratch page. v3: Pick a new scratch register as MI_STORE_REGISTER_MEM does not work with GPR0 on gen7, unbelievably. v4: Haswell still considers 3DPRIM a privileged register!

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.
