This has needed doing for a while.  Reviews welcome. 

As an attachment because it's about 64k "raw".

Cheers,
Rusty.

Yes, I fixed all these, but I sent out the old one (I'd fixed the
..sgml file, not the .tmpl file!).

Here's take II.  See also:

Thanks,
Rusty.

Some could be fuser errors (with docbook stylesheets etc.)...


a.  uses "gloss-timer" and "gloss-timers": choose one

b.  docbook complained about many unclosed or unmatched instances
    of </sect1>, </chapter>, </listitem>, etc.

c.  docbook complains about some 'C' syntactic items that are
inside <LiteralLayout> or <programlisting>.  E.g.:

- 'cache' in
	list_for_each_entry(i, &cache, list)

- 'obj-' in
	list_del(&obj->list);

- 'cache_lock' in
	down(&cache_lock);

(see the pattern: '&' shouldn't be special inside these blocks,
or at least that's how I think about it, but the software disagrees)


- docbook (at least my version) dislikes these #includes:
 #include <linux/list.h>
 #include <linux/slab.h>
 #include <linux/string.h>
+#include <linux/rcupdate.h>
 #include <asm/semaphore.h>
 #include <asm/errno.h>


I'd read it for content soonish.

Thanks for the update.
