1) Leon removes useless includes from both mlx5 and mlx4
 2) Tariq adds node awareness to some object allocations
 3) Gal Cleanups and improvements to EEPROM query
 4) Paul adds Software steering to Connection Tracking, to speed up
    CT Rules insertion.
 
 Paul Blakey Says:
 =================
 To improve insertion rate, this series allows for using software
 steering API directly instead of going through the fs_core layer.
 This can be done for CT because it doesn't need fs_core layer extra
 facilities, such as autogroups, FTE IDs and modifications (which require
 a copy of the flow key/mask). Skipping fs_core layer also allows to
 create the software steering objects (dr_* objects) ahead of time and
 re-use them for multiple rules, whereas software steering under fs_core
 creates them on the fly and discards them. This in turn increased insertion
 rate.
 
 The series first introduces a lightweight CT flow steering provider
 with the first implementations using fs_core layer, and moves CT to use it.
 The next patches implement a provider using software steering directly,
 bypassing fs_core, and uses it if software steering is available.

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.

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.
