[PATCH] Add documentation about /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode to various docs.
From: Bart Samwel <bart@samwel.tk> A bunch of small laptop mode updates: * Mention the laptop_mode and block_dump sysctls in the relevant docs, referring to the laptop-mode.txt. Improve description of what the laptop_mode knob means (i.e. seconds between last I/O and automatic sync). * Document the most relevant config file options. * Change the installation instructions in the laptop mode doc to describe the ACPI-bound version first, because this is the easiest. Explain the non-ACPI version afterwards. Added a reference to my "packaged version" of the scripts. * Move the setting of hdparm and cpu frequency out of the ACPI script and into the core laptop mode script. Add config option DO_HD to enable hdparm. Add config setting HD to set device to do hdparm on. Rename Dax's CPU_MANAGE to DO_CPU, with 0/1 instead of yes/no, to improve consistency. * Fix a problem where the root filesystem wouln't be remounted when /etc/mtab listed its type as "unknown". Deduce the type of "unknown" filesystems from /etc/fstab. This depends on the patch that adds config files, which was submitted to Linus by Dax Kelson on July 10.
