Paul Durrant ab520be8cd xen/privcmd: Add IOCTL_PRIVCMD_DM_OP
Recently a new dm_op[1] hypercall was added to Xen to provide a mechanism
for restricting device emulators (such as QEMU) to a limited set of
hypervisor operations, and being able to audit those operations in the
kernel of the domain in which they run.

This patch adds IOCTL_PRIVCMD_DM_OP as gateway for __HYPERVISOR_dm_op.

NOTE: There is no requirement for user-space code to bounce data through
      locked memory buffers (as with IOCTL_PRIVCMD_HYPERCALL) since
      privcmd has enough information to lock the original buffers
      directly.

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.
