It is mainly spelling, grammar (spelled it right this time) and formatting corrections largely thanks to Brian O'Connor and David Woodhouse among others who went through it with a fine tooth comb and sent me corrections. The main technical error was pointed out by Ingo Oeser where I didn't go through how data is copied from userspace properly. I've written a small paragraph for the moment but have added a section on Copying To/From Userspace to the TODO list which currently looks something like o Swap area management o High memory management o Memory locking o Copying To/From Userspace o Arch independent initialisation (not covering arch dependent) o Locking It'll be a few weeks at the very least before I get them done though so don't hold your breath just yet (Documentation is remarkably slow work). If anyone sees other parts missing, has suggestions or sees more mistakes, forward them on as any feedback is welcome.
