f7ca20deee Documentation: update URLs for Richard Gooch's articles
Current URL for "Kernel API changes from 2.0 to 2.2" hasn't been available
for some time, updating. The second article about changes from 2.2 to 2.4
is missing a URL, adding it.

The old link to source code cross reference does not work now. Though
the link has updated by commit 1d12554f0a
("Documentation: HOWTO: update code cross reference link"), there are
few obsolete links yet. This commit update them.

1c35c283f2 kernel-docs.txt: update kernelnewbies reference
The #kernelnewbies irc channel is no longer hosted on
irc.openprojects.net but on irc.oftc.net.
Removed pointer to different regional servers since oftc already uses
geo-IP load balancing.

The "description" quoted from the website no longer exists,
therefore removed the reference, quotes and carets.

The paragraph also contains a pointer to the kernelnewbies.org website.
Therefore changing the title to:
"Kernel Newbies IRC Channel and Website."

395cf9691d doc: fix broken references
There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.

Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
they were part of.

0ea6e61122 Documentation: update broken web addresses.
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

01dd2fbf0d typo fixes
Most of these fixes were already submitted for old kernel versions, and were
approved, but for some reason they never made it into the releases.

Because this is a consolidation of a couple old missed patches, it touches both
Kconfigs and documentation texts.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
