We currently have a mips_cm_base variable which holds the base address of the Coherence Manager (CM) Global Configuration Registers (GCRs), and accessor functions which use the GCR in their names. This works fine, but gets in the way of sharing the code to generate the accessor functions with other blocks (ie. CPC & GIC) because that code would then need to separately handle the name of the base address variable & the name used in the accessor functions. In order to prepare for sharing the accessor generation code between CM, CPC & GIC code this patch renames mips_cm_base to mips_gcr_base such that the "gcr" portion is common to both the base address variable & the accessor function names.

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.
