Can you take a look at Documentation/SubmittingPatches and generate a
patch in the format that is described there? That way I can apply this

Subject: [PATCH] Fix duplicated entry in Documentation/HOWTO

Commit 3f271008 introduced this section to Linus tree, but a
later commit 722385f7 accepted almost the identical patch via
Greg's tree, both from the same author.

This kills the duplicated one.
