Merge tag 'docs-for-linus' of git://git.lwn.net/linux-2.6
Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet:
"Here's my set of accumulated documentation changes for 3.19.
It includes a couple of additions to the coding style document, some
fixes for minor build problems within the documentation tree, the
relocation of the kselftest docs, and various tweaks and additions.
A couple of changes reach outside of Documentation/; they only make
trivial comment changes and I did my best to get the required acks.
Complete with a shiny signed tag this time around"
