H. Peter Anvin 8a95b74d50 x86: Mark hpa as a "Designated Reviewer" for the time being
Due to some unfortunate events, I have not been directly involved in
the x86 kernel patch flow for a while now.  I have also not been able
to ramp back up by now like I had hoped to, and after reviewing what I
will need to work on both internally at Intel and elsewhere in the near
term, it is clear that I am not going to be able to ramp back up until
late 2018 at the very earliest.

It is not acceptable to not recognize that this load is currently
taken by Ingo and Thomas without my direct participation, so I mark
myself as R: (designated reviewer) rather than M: (maintainer) until
further notice.  This is in fact recognizing the de facto situation
for the past few years.

I have obviously no intention of going away, and I will do everything
within my power to improve Linux on x86 and x86 for Linux.  This,
however, puts credit where it is due and reflects a change of focus.

This patch also removes stale entries for portions of the x86
architecture which have not been maintained separately from arch/x86
for a long time.  If there is a reason to re-introduce them then that
can happen later.

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.
