Hello.

I've noticed that some of Linux kernel in-tree documentation pointers
are no longer valid and decided to check the validity for the rest of
them with some one-liner. As it turned out, there are quite a few of
them, in part due to latest ReST conversion effort. This patch set aims
at amending documentation pointers that are no longer valid with the
information about current location. I'm not quite sure about
wording/formatting, and do not guarantee that I haven't miss anything,
so I hope that this could be at least useful as a starting point.

Thanks. I new a bunch of fixes must be needed because of the ReST changes, but had not yet taken a look.

The patches look great thanks for preserving the historical information.

A couple of minor tweaks for future commit messages:

1. Capitalize the first word after the file list in the patch title:

   E.g., instead of "usnshare.2: some text" use "unshare.2: "Some text"

2. In the body of the commit message, I prefer the text to be no wider
   than 66 columns.

These points help with my scripts that generate the release changelog.
I've fixed all of these details in the patches you've sent.

Thanks,

Michael
