Subject: [PATCH] various doc/kernel-parameters fixes
Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 16:44:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070726164429.f41358d7.randy.dunlap@oracle.com> (raw)

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>

- tell what APIC (by request), MTD, & PARIDE mean
- correct some source file names
- remove IA64 "llsc*=" (seems to have been removed from source tree)
- removel SCSI "53c7xx=" (driver already removed)
