This commit makes the judgelitmus.sh script check the --hw argument (AKA the LKMM_HW_MAP_FILE environment variable) and to adjust its judgment for a run where a C-language litmus test has been translated to assembly and the assembly version verified. In this case, the assembly verification output is checked against the C-language script's "Result:" comment. However, because hardware can be stronger than LKMM requires, the judgelitmus.sh script forgives verification mismatches featuring a "Sometimes" in the C-language script and an "Always" or "Never" assembly-language verification. Note that deadlock is not forgiven, however, this should not normally be an issue given that C-language tests containing locking, RCU, or SRCU cannot be translated to assembly. However, this issue can crop up in litmus tests that mimic deadlock by using the "filter" clause to ignore all executions. It can also crop up when certain herd arguments are used to autofilter everything that does not match the "exists" clause in cases where the "exists" clause cannot be satisfied.

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.
