Ard Biesheuvel ea2d9a96b6 ARM: 8663/1: wire up HWCAP/HWCAP2 feature bits to the CPU modalias
Wire up the generic support for exposing CPU feature bits via the
modalias in /sys/device/system/cpu. This allows udev to automatically
load modules for things like crypto algorithms that are implemented
using optional instructions.

Since it is non-trivial to transparantly support both HWCAP and HWCAP2
capabilities in the cpu_feature() macro (which allows a module's hwcap
dependency and init routine to be declared using a single invocation of
module_cpu_feature_match()), support only HWCAP2 for now, which covers
the capabilities that are most likely to be useful in this manner.
Module dependencies on HWCAP will need to be declared explicitly via a
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(cpu, ...) declaration.

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.
