Hi all,

This patch series is a follow-up from the MISRA C meeting last Thursday,
when we went through the list of MISRA C rules on the spreadsheet and
agreed to accept into the Xen coding style the first ones, starting from
Dir 2.1 up until Rule 5.1 (except for Rule 2.2) in descending popularity
order.

This is the full list of accepted rules so far:

Dir 2.1
Dir 4.7
Dir 4.10
Dir 4.14
Rule 1.3
Rule 3.2
Rule 5.1
Rule 6.2
Rule 8.1
Rule 8.4
Rule 8.5
Rule 8.6
Rule 8.8
Rule 8.12

This short patch series add them as a new document under docs/misra as a
list in rst format. The file can be used as input to cppcheck using a
small python script from Bertrand (who will send it to the xen-devel
separately.)

Cheers,

Stefano
