Merge tag 'docs-for-linus' of git://git.lwn.net/linux-2.6

Pull documentation fixes from Jonathan Corbet:
 "So this is my first pull request since I rashly agreed to look after
  the documentation subtree.  It contains some typo fixes, a few minor
  documentation improvements, and, most importantly, fixes for a couple
  of build problems in various bits of sample code.

  I fully intend to start sending pull requests with signed tags.
  However, due to poor planning on my part and the general obnoxiousness
  of life, I'm 2000 miles away from my private key which is sitting on a
  powered-down machine.  This should be fixed before my next request.

  Meanwhile git.lwn.net is a machine under my control, the patches are
  all trivial, and all have done time in linux-next"
