[ Upstream commit ee63291aa8287cb7ded767d340155fe8681fc075 ]
struct pt_regs is hard to read because the member or section related
comments are not aligned with the members.
The 'cs' and 'ss' members of pt_regs are type of 'unsigned long' while
in reality they are only 16-bit wide. This works so far as the
remaining space is unused, but FRED will use the remaining bits for
other purposes.
To prepare for FRED:
- Cleanup the formatting
- Convert 'cs' and 'ss' to u16 and embed them into an union
with a u64
- Fixup the related printk() format strings

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.
