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.

Inorder to support large effective address range (512TB), we want to increase the virtual address bits to 68. But we do have platforms like p4 and p5 that can only do 65 bit VA. We support those platforms by limiting context bits on them to 16. The protovsid -> vsid conversion is verified to work with both 65 and 68 bit va values. I also documented the restrictions in a table format as part of code comments. Signed-off-by:Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:
