Add "disable" module parameter support to ipv6.ko by specifying
"disable=1" on module load. We just do the minimum of initializing
inetsw6[] so calls from other modules to inet6_register_protosw()
won't OOPs, then bail out. No IPv6 addresses or sockets can be
created as a result, and a reboot is required to enable IPv6.

The kernel-api docbook was much larger than any of the others,
so processing it took longer and needed some docbook extras in
some cases, so split it into kernel-api (infrastructure etc.)
and device drivers/device subsystems. This allows these docbooks
to be generated in parallel. (This reduced the docbook processing
time on my 4-proc system with make -j4 from about 5min:16sec to
about 2min:01sec.)
The chapters that were moved from kernel-api to device-drivers are:
Driver Basics
Device drivers infrastructure
Parallel Port Devices
Message-based devices
Sound Devices
16x50 UART Driver
Frame Buffer Library
Input Subsystem
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
I2C and SMBus Subsystem

- s/cpumask_t/struct cpumask/
- document cpu hotplug and change of 'sched_relax_domain_level' may cause

- document various ways to query and modify cpusets

User space can request hardware and/or software time stamping.
Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled
separately for each field in the message because some of the
fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead.
User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart
and choose what suits its needs.
When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned
and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added
to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket
associated with it.
The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the
cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is
done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware
timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's
start_hard_xmit routine.

Impact: prevents confusing the user when buffer size is inadequate
The tracing framework offers a resizeable buffer, which mmiotrace uses
to record events. If the buffer is full, the following events will be
lost. Events should not be lost, so the documentation instructs the user
to increase the buffer size. The buffer size is set via a debugfs file.
Mmiotrace documentation was not updated the same time the debugfs file
was changed. The old file was tracing/trace_entries and first contained
the number of entries the buffer had space for, per cpu. Nowadays this
file is replaced with the file tracing/buffer_size_kb, which tells the
amount of memory reserved for the buffer, per cpu, in kilobytes.
Previously, a flag had to be toggled via the debugfs file
tracing/tracing_enabled when the buffer size was changed. This is no
longer necessary.
The mmiotrace documentation is updated to reflect the current state of
the tracing framework.
