Update Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt and Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt.
 More specifically, the section on /proc/sys/vm in
Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt was removed and a link to
Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt added.

Most of the verbiage from proc.txt was simply moved in vm.txt, with new
addtional text for "swappiness" and "stat_interval".

This reverts commit 58dab916, which
makes my Nehalem come to a nasty crawling almost-halt.  It looks like it
turns off caching of regular kernel RAM, with the understandable
slowdown of a few orders of magnitude as a result.

This was not implemented correctly for the pnx8xxx_uart driver.

[From further discussion:
Correct, you can look to it as two separate bugs:
a) the next character is not ignored while it should;
b) the status bits 31-8 are copied to the 'ch' variable while they shouldn't.

Both bugs prevent correct break signal handling (and therefore correct
behaviour of the magic SysRq key). Bug b didn't cause too much trouble
earlier because in most situations the status bits are all zero; for
this case they unfortunately aren't.

On the Asus Xonar D2 and D2X models, the SPI chip select signal for the
fourth DAC shares its pin with the serial clock for the EEPROM that
contains the PCI subdevice ID values.  It appears that when DAC
registers are written and some other unknown conditions occur (probably
noise on the EEPROM's chip select line), the EEPROM gets overwritten
with garbage, which makes it impossible to properly detect the card
later.

Therefore, we better avoid DAC register writes and make sure that the
driver works with the DAC's registers' default values.  Consequently,
the sample format is now I2S instead of left-justified (no user-visible
change), and the DAC's volume/mute registers cannot be used anymore
(volume changes are now done by the software volume plugin).

Restart the request queue early for REQ_TYPE_PM_RESUME requests
(though there is only one resume request for the whole resume
sequence it stays in the queue until is fully completed and now
depends on kblockd for processing consequential resume states).
