  • There are no users of fpu__restore() so it is time to remove it. The
    comment regarding fpu__restore() and TS bit is stale since commit

    b3b0870ef3ffe ("i387: do not preload FPU state at task switch time")

    and has no meaning since.

  • The existing wording implies that the use of spin_unlock whilst irqs are
    disabled might trigger a reschedule. However the preemptible() test in
    preempt_schedule will prevent a reschedule if irqs are disabled.

    Lets improve the clarity of this wording to change the example from
    spin_unlock to cond_resched() and cond_resched_lock() as these are
    functions that will trigger a reschedule if the preempt count is 0 without
    testing that irqs are disabled.

    Also remove the 'Last Updated' line as this is not up to date and better
    tracked via GIT.

  • Each text file under Documentation follows a different
    format. Some doesn't even have titles!

    Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
    using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:

    - mark titles;
    - mark literal blocks;
    - adjust identation where needed;
    - use :Author: for authorship.

  • 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!
