Matthew Auld noted that on more recent systems (such as the parser for
gen9) we may have objects that are larger than expected by the GEM uAPI
(i.e. greater than u32). These objects would have incorrect implicit
batch lengths, causing the parser to reject them for being incomplete,
or worse.
Based on a patch by Matthew Auld.

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.
