Vitaly Kuznetsov 773e8a0425 x86/kvm: use Enlightened VMCS when running on Hyper-V
Enlightened VMCS is just a structure in memory, the main benefit
besides avoiding somewhat slower VMREAD/VMWRITE is using clean field
mask: we tell the underlying hypervisor which fields were modified
since VMEXIT so there's no need to inspect them all.

Tight CPUID loop test shows significant speedup:
Before: 18890 cycles
After: 8304 cycles

Static key is being used to avoid performance penalty for non-Hyper-V
deployments.

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.
