Add a sub-heading, and emphasize reproducibility.

Suggest taking a picture of the oops message.  (Did no one have cameras
in 2006?)

REPORTING-BUGS is pretty disorganized.  Bug reporters are likely to be
in a frustrated, stressed frame of mind, so introduce methodical
step-by-step directions for how to report bugs.  Use titles so people
can skim it if necessary.

Slight changes in procedures:

1. Encourage people to report bugs to maintainers and sub-system mailing
lists, not LKML at first.  I've seen way too many people get lost in the
noise because they didn't Cc the maintainer or proper mailing list.

2. Link to bugzilla.kernel.org, and let people know that some
maintainers prefer bugs filed there vs. the mailing lists.  (Perhaps we
need an entry in MAINTAINERS for which is preferred?)

3. If someone doesn't know where to report a bug, encourage them to both
file a bugzilla entry and email LKML.  Their report is less likely to
get lost if there's a bugzilla entry.

Preserve text about reporting security bugs, and get_maintainer.pl.

More will be added/modified in upcoming patches.

Other paragraph format docs in Documentation don't use paragraph
indentations, so conform REPORTING-BUGS to that.

Re-wrap the paragraphs, keeping the doc to a 74-character line length,
since that's what the original seemed to use.

Add a new record to the REPORTING-BUGS template: "Most recent kernel version
which did not have the bug:".  So we can spot regressions more easily.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
