Rick Farrington 0c88a76148 liquidio: use meaningful names for IRQs
All IRQs owned by the PF and VF drivers share the same nondescript name
"octeon"; this makes it difficult to setup interrupt affinity.

Change the IRQ names to reflect their specific purpose:

    LiquidIO<id>-<func>-<type>-<queue pair num>

Examples:
    LiquidIO0-pf0-rxtx-3
    LiquidIO1-vf1-rxtx-0
    LiquidIO0-pf0-aux

We cannot use netdev->name for naming the IRQs because:

    1.  Early during init, the PF and VF drivers require interrupts to
        send/receive control data from the NIC firmware; so the PF and VF
        must request IRQs long before the netdev struct is registered.

    2.  The IRQ name can only be specified at the time it is requested.
        It cannot be changed after that.

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.
