Steven Rostedt (VMware) af41acf834 printk: Remove superfluous memory barriers from printk_safe
The variable printk_safe_irq_ready is set and never cleared at system
boot up, when there's only one CPU active. It is set before other
CPUs come on line. Also, it is extremely unlikely that an NMI would
trigger this early in boot up (which I wonder why we even have this
variable at all).

Also mark the printk_safe_irq_ready as read mostly, as it is set at
system boot up, and never touched again.

README

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.
