From 5872fb94f85d2e4fdef94657bd14e1a492df9825 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Randy Dunlap Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 16:28:02 -0800 Subject: Documentation: move DMA-mapping.txt to Doc/PCI/ Move DMA-mapping.txt to Documentation/PCI/. DMA-mapping.txt was supposed to be moved from Documentation/ to Documentation/PCI/. The 00-INDEX files in those two directories were updated, along with a few other text files, but the file itself somehow escaped being moved, so move it and update more text files and source files with its new location.
