Subject: [PATCH 2.6.18-rc1 1/1] arch/x86-64: A few trivial spelling and grammar fixes
Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2006 18:27:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c526a04b0607081027j62887e9bi5a3b93fa4606e003@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

A few trivial spelling and grammar mistakes picked up in
"arch/x86_64/aperture.c", "arch/x86_64/crash.c" and
"arch/x86_64/apic.c". I think all are correct fixes but am ever aware
of my fallibility :o) This is my first patch submission so all
feedback is appreciated, esp. WRT CCing to Linus, Andi and
trivial@kernel.org, is this correct? And which is the most appropriate
kernel version to diff against? If any.

Should apply cleanly to 2.6.18-rc1
