kdump: documentation cleanups

2007-10-17T15:43:06+00:00

This cleans up kdump documentation a bit. Plus I do not think we want
to mention Linux trademark in _every_ file in documentation....

Add reset_devices to the recommended parameters

2007-10-17T15:43:06+00:00

This patch adds the "reset_devices" option (that's used only by one device
driver for now) to the recommended list of command line parameters for kdump.

Meaning (Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt):
    reset_devices   [KNL] Force drivers to reset the underlying device
                    during initialization.

Express relocatability of kernel on x86_64 in documentation

2007-10-17T15:43:05+00:00

This patch adapts the Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt file to express the fact
that the x86_64 kernel is now also relocatable.  This makes i386 and x86_64
now behave the same, simplifying the documentation.

[PATCH] kexec: fix references to init in documentation for kexec

2007-02-12T17:48:29+00:00

I've noticed that the boot options are not correct for in the documentation
for kdump.  The "init" keyword is not necessary, and causes a kernel panic
when booting with an initrd on Fedora 5.
