When a s390 guest runs on a z/VM host that's part of a SSI cluster, it can be migrated to a different host. In this case, the MAC address it originally obtained on the old host may be re-assigned to a new guest. This would result in address conflicts between the two guests. When running as z/VM guest, use the diag26c MAC Service to obtain a hypervisor-managed MAC address. The MAC Service is SSI-aware, and won't re-assign the address after the guest is migrated to a new host. This patch adds support for the z/VM MAC Service on L2 devices.

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.
