I know it's just wanking, but I don't think this is the right change. All paths
within the kernel are based on the kernel sources "root" directory. That means
that REPORTING-BUGS absolute address is
  
	wherever_you_keep_kernel_sources/REPORTING-BUGS
  
If we merge the proposed change we should merge hundreds of other changes...
In the same exact Documentation/BUG_HUNTING:
  
	Please do read Documentation/SubmittingPatches though to help your 
  
then should become
          
	Please do read ../Documentation/SubmittingPatches though to help your
  
Apart from the fact that this is clearly the *wrong* change, this can
potentially create hundreds of useless one-liners in the whole Documentation/
and other text files.
