Nicholas Piggin 9f83e00f4c powerpc/64: Improve inline asm in arch_local_irq_disable
arch_local_irq_disable is implemented strangely, with a temporary
output register being set to the desired soft_enabled value via an
immediate input, which is then used to store to memory. This is not
required, the immediate can be specified directly as a register input.

For simple cases at least, assembly is unchanged except register
mapping.

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.
