This patch adds support for allocating, deallocating and registering a new
device memory type, STEERING_SW_ICM.  This memory can be allocated and
used by a privileged user for direct rule insertion and management of the
device's steering tables.

The type is provided by the user via the dedicated attribute in the
alloc_dm ioctl command.

History
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.
