Provide amendments to the MIPS generic platform framework so that
the new generic-based board Ranchu can be chosen to be built.
The Ranchu board is intended to be used by Android emulator. The name
"Ranchu" originates from Android development community. "Goldfish" and
"Ranchu" are terms used for two generations of virtual boards used by
Android emulator. The name "Ranchu" is a newer one among the two, and
this patch deals with Ranchu. However, for historical reasons, some
devices/drivers still contain the name "Goldfish".
MIPS Ranchu machine includes a number of Goldfish devices. The support
for Virtio devices is also included. Ranchu board supports up to 16
Virtio devices which can be attached using Virtio MMIO Bus. This is
summarized in the following picture:

|| | (virtio-net)------------------
Device Tree is created on the QEMU side based on the information about
devices IO map and IRQ numbers. Kernel will load this DTB using UHI
boot protocol DTB handover mode.

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.
