By the way, in Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt, explanation of
/proc/meminfo is described in section 1.3 (IDE devices in /proc/ide).
I think that it should be described in section 1.2 (Kernel data).

Attached patch fixes it. This patch has to be applied after my previous patch is applied.

Kind regards,
