Move ALSA docbooks to be with the rest of the kernel docbooks and add them to the Makefile so that they build. Latter required a few minor changes to alsa .tmpl files.

2009-03-04IPv6: add "disable" module parameter support to ipv6.koBrian Haley
Add "disable" module parameter support to ipv6.ko by specifying "disable=1" on module load. We just do the minimum of initializing inetsw6[] so calls from other modules to inet6_register_protosw() won't OOPs, then bail out. No IPv6 addresses or sockets can be created as a result, and a reboot is required to enable IPv6. Signed-off-by: Brian Haley <brian.haley@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_transition_latency It's not only useful for the ondemand and conservative governors, but also for userspace daemons to know about the HW transition latency of the CPU. It is especially useful for userspace to know about this value when the ondemand or conservative governors are run. The sampling rate control value depends on it and for userspace being able to set sane tuning values there it has to know about the transition latency.

2009-02-22docbook: split kernel-api for device-driversRandy Dunlap
The kernel-api docbook was much larger than any of the others, so processing it took longer and needed some docbook extras in some cases, so split it into kernel-api (infrastructure etc.) and device drivers/device subsystems. This allows these docbooks to be generated in parallel. (This reduced the docbook processing time on my 4-proc system with make -j4 from about 5min:16sec to about 2min:01sec.) The chapters that were moved from kernel-api to device-drivers are: Driver Basics Device drivers infrastructure Parallel Port Devices Message-based devices Sound Devices 16x50 UART Driver Frame Buffer Library Input Subsystem Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) I2C and SMBus Subsystem Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
