~1160 mlx5 counters ~= order 4 allocation which is unlikely to succeed
under memory pressure. Convert them to vzalloc() as ethtool_get_regs() does.
Also take care of drivers without counters similar to
commit 67ae7cf1ee ("ethtool: Allow zero-length register dumps again")
and reduce warn_on to warn_on_once.

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.
