This patchset moves the visorbus driver (fromdrivers/staging/unisys/visorbus)
and its dependent headers files (from drivers/staging/unisys/include)
out of staging into the main kernel tree.
The visorbus driver is a bus driver for various paravirtualized devices
presented within a Unisys s-Par guest environment. Drivers for these
devices are also currently present under drivers/staging/unisys/, which we
intend to also move out of staging immediately after visorbus. All of
these other drivers are dependent upon visorbus and the include directory,
which is why we would like to move these first.
Our initial consultations with various members of the community have led us
to the conclusion that the most appropriate locations for these is:
arch/x86/visorbus/ (driver)
include/linux/visorbus/ (header files)
The rationale is that visorbus is dependent on x86-64 architecture.
David Kershner (5):
staging: unisys: Move vbushelper.h to visorbus directory
include: linux: visorbus: Add visorbus to include/linux directory
Documentation: Move visorbus documentation from staging to
Documentation/
staging: unisys: visorbus: Have visorbus use include/linux/visorbus
arch: x86: add visorbus directory to arch/x86
