Several spellings and punctuations in Documentation
cover Several spellings and punctuations in Documentation
While reading some documentation to get acquainted with the Linux kernel development, I encountered some spelling and punctuation, erm, mutants that are addressed in this patch-set.
Patches are based on v3.17-rc1.
Since this is my first patch, any comments on style and email are welcome.

Hi Markus,
It would be nice (but not strictly required) for patches 1-9 to be replies to (or references to) patch 0.
git-send-email can do this; see --thread.

Patches should have a Subject: like
[PATCH 1/9] README: fix spelling and punctuation in main README file
I would prefer for these to all go thru the trivial patch maintainer:
Jiri Kosina <[email protected]>
That would involve adding the word "trivial" somewhere in the Subject line, like (e.g.)
[PATCH 1/9 trivial] README: fix spelling and punctuation in main README file or
[PATCH 1/9] trivial: fix spelling and punctuation in main README file
I can ack patches 1-3 and 5-8:
Thanks.
