    Patch from Petr Baudis <pasky@ucw.cz>
    
    This patch (against 2.5.49) updates Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
    to the current state of kernel.  It was somehow abadonded lately, so I
    did my best, but it's possible that I still missed some of the options
    - thus, if you will notice your favourite boot option missing there,
    please speak up.  Note also that I will probably send up another update
    after few further kernel releases..
    
    Also, I attempted to introduce some uniform format to the entries, I
    added the format description where I was able to find it out and
    decypher it, and I also added gross amount of external links to the
    headers of the source files or to the README-like files, where the
    options are described into more degree.  This way, hopefully this file
    has a chance to be actually usable for the users ;-).
    
    There are almost certainly some entries which I missed, it was really a
    huge number and the main reason is that some of the boot options don't
    use the __setup macro, which I grep'd for.
    
    I hope the patch is ok, there should be no problems with it. Please apply.
    
    Note that this is the fourth submission of the patch - I took the
    opportunity and updated the patch from 2.5.48 to 2.5.49.  AFAIK mutt
    shouldn't mangle the patch in any way, so it should apply cleanly to
    your tree, Linus.
