Since commit 4efd417f29 ("s390: raise minimum supported machine
generation to z10"), the long-displacement facility is assumed and
required for the kernel. Clean up a couple of places in the entry code,
where long-displacement could be used directly instead of using a base
register.
However, there are still a few other places where a base register has
to be used to extend short-displacement for the second lowcore page
access. Notably, boot/head.S still has to be built for z900, and in
mcck_int_handler, spt and lbear, which don't have long-displacements,
but need to access save areas at the second lowcore page.

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.
