Most of the stuff from kernel/sched.c was moved to kernel/sched/core.c long time
back and the comments/Documentation never got updated.
I figured it out when I was going through sched-domains.txt and so thought of
fixing it globally.
I haven't crossed check if the stuff that is referenced in sched/core.c by all
these files is still present and hasn't changed as that wasn't the motive behind
this patch.

Since we removed sti()/cli() and related, how about removing it from
Documentation/spinlocks.txt?

In recent months, two different network projects erroneously
strayed down the rw_lock path. Update the Documentation
based upon comments by Eric Dumazet and Paul E. McKenney in
those threads.
Further updates await somebody else with more expertise.
Changes:
- Merged with extensive content by Stephen Hemminger.
- Fix one of the comments by Linus Torvalds.

Checkpatch will throw an error if code doesn't use the correct initializers
for static spinlocks:
ERROR: Use of SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED is deprecated: see Documentation/spinlocks.txt
This is fine, but Documentation/spinlocks.txt isn't very clear on how to
_use_ the new initializers for static variables. To save people time in the
future, I added two small examples of how to fix old-style static
initializers to be more lockdep friendly.

Static initialization of spinlocks is preferable to dynamic initialization
when it is practical. This patch updates documentation for consistency
with comments in spinlock_types.h.

This is a trivial patch which fixes a typo on rwlock usage under
Documentation/spinlocks.txt.

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!
