Extend MGPIR (Management General Peripheral Information Register) with new fields specifying the slot number and number of the slots available on system. The purpose of these fields is: - to support access to MPGIR register on modular system for getting the number of cages, equipped on the line card, inserted at specified slot. In case slot number is set zero, MGPIR will provide the information for the main board. For Top of the Rack (non-modular) system it will provide the same as before. - to provide the number of slots supported by system. This data is relevant only in case slot number is set zero.

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.
