I've gone ahead and applied this.  Please note, though, that the "this
patch..." style of changelogging strongly irritates some developers;
please use an imperative style in the future.  I rewrote the changelog to:

	Documentation: proc.txt: Adding 'HardwareCorrupted' field and
	description. 
    	
	Fill in missing documentation for the HardwareCorrupted field in
	proc.txt.

Thanks,

jon
