I don't think such details as the 46 bit number should be in an index file.

What's the point of this file?

It's for http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/

I have a script that converts each 00-INDEX files into an index.html file, and then uses that instead of just a directory listing. I'm trying to get complete coverage (a 00-INDEX file for each directory), although what I really need is no directories with _partial_ 00-INDEX files (because then using index.html instead of showing the directory listing would hide files).

If you want this directory to be special and _not_ have a 00-INDEX file, that's fine by me. It screws up my 404 link checker, but I can hardwire in an exception for you...

+boot-options.txt
+	- AMD64-specific boot options.

That line was cut and paste from the first line of boot-options.txt. If you'd like to suggest another description, I'm all ears and can update the patch to touch boot-options.txt at the same time.

*shrug* Ok.
