Linux Kernel Documentation [web formatted]

[Flubber]

[!] Based on kernel version 2.6.38.

This is a brief list of all the files in ./linux/Documentation and what
they contain. If you add a documentation file, please list it here in
alphabetical order as well, or risk being hunted down like a rabid dog.
Please try and keep the descriptions small enough to fit on one line.
                             Thanks -- Paul G.
