Dave Hansen 16561f27f9 x86/entry: Add some paranoid entry/exit CR3 handling comments
Andi Kleen was just asking me about the NMI CR3 handling and why
we restore it unconditionally.  I was *sure* we had documented it
well.  We did not.

Add some documentation.  We have common entry code where the CR3
value is stashed, but three places in two big code paths where we
restore it.  I put bulk of the comments in this common path and
then refer to it from the other spots.

README

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.
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.
