This document is almost compliant with ReST notation, but some
small adjustments are needed to make it parse properly by
Sphinx (mostly, add blank lines where needed).

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the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.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.

One of the roles which -mm fulfilled some time ago (to offer an
integration testing ground) has been taken over by -next. This is still
news to Documentation/HOWTO, so mention it there.
Also add a word on how patchwork is used to track patches as they make
their way into subsystem trees. Remove some arbitrary links to
subsystem repositories; they can all be found in the MAINTAINERS
database.

The "Documentation" section of this file mentions that when an interface
change is made, I should be CCed with info about the change (so that
man-pages can document it). Additionally request that this info be CCed

This reverts commit 722385f75e (or commit

same patch to Documentation/HOWTO got added twice because it just kept
