James Hogan a8a3c42677 KVM: MIPS: Add VZ & TE capabilities
Add new KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ and KVM_CAP_MIPS_TE capabilities, and in order
to allow MIPS KVM to support VZ without confusing old users (which
expect the trap & emulate implementation), define and start checking
KVM_CREATE_VM type codes.

The codes available are:

 - KVM_VM_MIPS_TE = 0

   This is the current value expected from the user, and will create a
   VM using trap & emulate in user mode, confined to the user mode
   address space. This may in future become unavailable if the kernel is
   only configured to support VZ, in which case the EINVAL error will be
   returned and KVM_CAP_MIPS_TE won't be available even though
   KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ is.

 - KVM_VM_MIPS_VZ = 1

   This can be provided when the KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ capability is available
   to create a VM using VZ, with a fully virtualized guest virtual
   address space. If VZ support is unavailable in the kernel, the EINVAL
   error will be returned (although old kernels without the
   KVM_CAP_MIPS_VZ capability may well succeed and create a trap &
   emulate VM).

This is designed to allow the desired implementation (T&E vs VZ) to be
potentially chosen at runtime rather than being fixed in the kernel
configuration.

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.
