Paolo Bonzini 4fdec2034b x86/cpufeature: Move processor tracing out of scattered features
Processor tracing is already enumerated in word 9 (CPUID[7,0].EBX),
so do not duplicate it in the scattered features word.

Besides being more tidy, this will be useful for KVM when it presents
processor tracing to the guests.  KVM selects host features that are
supported by both the host kernel (depending on command line options,
CPU errata, or whatever) and KVM.  Whenever a full feature word exists,
KVM's code is written in the expectation that the CPUID bit number
matches the X86_FEATURE_* bit number, but this is not the case for
X86_FEATURE_INTEL_PT.

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.
