Subject: linux-next: manual merge of the akpm-current tree with the jc_docs tree

Hi Andrew,

Today's linux-next merge of the akpm-current tree got a conflict in:

Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

between commit:

9daacf51b428 ("Documentation/kernel-parameters: update KMG units")

from the jc_docs tree and commit:

f0a906868be1 ("mm/page_alloc.c: introduce kernelcore=mirror option")

from the akpm-current tree.

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary (no action
is required).

There's a pretty strong convention that the [KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC] line
stay on the first line for grep, which seems more important than
keeping the format on that line. So, it might be better to resolve
using three lines like this:

kernelcore= [KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC]
Format: nn[KMGPTE] | "mirror"
This parameter specifies...
