I've noticed that getting documentation patches merged seems to be a
slower and more uncertain process than it was a while back.  So I
figured I'd try to be one of the cool folks with their own git tree and
see if that works better.  Linus, if you agree, could you please pull:

  git://git.lwn.net/linux-2.6.git docs

To get the following:

Jonathan Corbet (3):
      Add the seq_file documentation
      Fill out information on patch tags in SubmittingPatches
      Add a comment discouraging use of in_atomic()

 Documentation/SubmittingPatches        |   54 ++++++-
 Documentation/filesystems/00-INDEX     |    2 +
 Documentation/filesystems/seq_file.txt |  283 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 include/linux/hardirq.h                |    8 +
 4 files changed, 344 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 Documentation/filesystems/seq_file.txt

These changes are (1) an updated version of the seq_file document first
posted in 2003, (2) the much-reviewed patch tags documentation, and
(3) a comment warning developers that in_atomic() doesn't mean what they
think it means.  No code changes.

If this works out, and nobody objects, I'll try to run this tree into
the future as a collection point for documentation patches which don't
have a more obvious tree to travel through.

Thanks,

jon
