There are currently various laptop drivers floating about with no central
place for their documentation, which is currently scattered around the top
level Documentation/ directory.
So, as a first step, lets create a Documentation sub-directory, and update
the relevant index files. The work of then moving the existing laptop
driver related documentation will then be handled later.

People discuss how the namespaces are working/going-to-work together.
Ted Ts'o proposed to create some document that describes what problems user
may have when he/she creates some new namespace, but keeps others shared.
I liked this idea, so here's the initial version of such a document with
the problems I currently have in mind and can describe somewhat audibly -
the "namespaces compatibility list".
The Documentation/namespaces/ directory is about to contain more docs about
the namespaces stuff.
Thanks to Cedirc for notes and spell checks on the doc, to Daniel for
additional info about IPC and User namespaces interaction and to Randy, who
alluded me to using a spell checker before sending the documentation :)

This patch contains the documentation for the kexec based crash dump tool.
Quick kdump-howto
================================================================
1) Download and build kexec-tools.
2) Download and build the latest kexec/kdump (-mm) kernel patchset.
Two kernels need to be built in order to get this feature working.
A) First kernel:
a) Enable "kexec system call" feature:
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
b) Physical load address (use default):
CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x100000
c) Enable "sysfs file system support":
CONFIG_SYSFS=y
d) Boot into first kernel with the command line parameter "crashkernel=Y@X":
For example: "crashkernel=64M@16M".
B) Second kernel:
a) Enable "kernel crash dumps" feature:
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
b) Physical load addreess, use same load address as X in "crashkernel"
kernel parameter in d) above, e.g., 16 MB or 0x1000000.
CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x1000000
c) Enable "/proc/vmcore support" (Optional, in Pseudo filesystems).
CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE=y
3) Boot into the first kernel.
4) Load the second kernel to be booted using:
kexec -p <second-kernel> --crash-dump --args-linux --append="root=<root-dev>
maxcpus=1 init 1"
5) System reboots into the second kernel when a panic occurs. A module can be
written to force the panic, for testing purposes.
6) See Documentation/kdump.txt for how to read the first kernel's
memory image and how to analyze it.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
