* Added support for translating the SGLs associated with incoming commands either to IEE SGL or NVMe PRPs for NVMe devices. * The hardware translation of IEEE SGL to NVMe PRPs has limitations and if a command cannot be translated by hardware then it will go to firmware and the firmware needs to translate it. This will have a performance impact. To avoid that, the driver proactively checks whether the translation will be done in hardware or not. If not, then driver translates.

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.
