Try to document the object caching related bits, like cache_coherent and cache_dirty. v2(Ville): - As pointed out by Ville, fix the completely incorrect assumptions about the "partial" coherency on shared LLC platforms. v3(Daniel): - Fix nonsense about "dirtying" the cache with reads. v4(Daniel): - Various improvements, including adding some more details for WT.

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.
