Christoph Hellwig 9acc17baf1 initrd: mark initrd support as deprecated
The classic initial ramdisk has been replaced by the much more
flexible and efficient initramfs a long time.  Warn about it being
removed soon.

Includes a spelling fix from Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
