This patch just updates comments throughout the IPA code. Transaction state is now tracked using indexes into an array rather than linked lists, and a few comments refer to the "old way" of doing things. The description of how transactions are used was changed to refer to "operations" rather than "commands", to (hopefully) remove a possible ambiguity. IPA register offsets and fields are now handled differently as well, and the register documentation is updated to better describe the code. A few minor updates to comments were made (e.g., adding a missing word, fixing a typo or punctuation, etc.). Finally, the local macro atomic_dec_not_zero() is no longer used, so it is deleted.

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.
