Justin P. Mattock 0ea6e61122 Documentation: update broken web addresses.
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

Nathan Fontenot 12633e803a sysfs/cpu: Add probe/release files
Version 3 of this patch is updated with documentation added to
Documentation/ABI.  There are no changes to any of the C code from v2
of the patch.

In order to support kernel DLPAR of CPU resources we need to provide an
interface to add (probe) and remove (release) the resource from the system.
This patch Creates new generic probe and release sysfs files to facilitate
cpu probe/release.  The probe/release interface provides for allowing each
arch to supply their own routines for implementing the backend of adding
and removing cpus to/from the system.

This also creates the powerpc specific stubs to handle the arch callouts
from writes to the sysfs files.

The creation and use of these files is regulated by the
CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE option so that only architectures that need the
capability will have the files created.

Alex Chiang 0cda8b91f2 [CPUFREQ] Documentation: ABI: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/cpufreq/
This is a complex interface and is already described in
Documentation/cpu-freq/, especially in the user-guide.txt file.

No need to copy/paste all that information. Let's just alert the reader
to the presence of the user-guide.

Alex Chiang 663fb2fc73 Documentation: ABI: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/ topology files
Add brief descriptions for the following sysfs files:

	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/core_id
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/core_siblings
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/core_siblings_list
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/physical_package_id
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/thread_siblings
	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/topology/thread_siblings_list

The descriptions in Documentation/cputopology.txt weren't very
informative, so I attempted a better description based on code
reading and hopeful guessing.

Updated Documentation/cputopology.txt with the better descriptions and
fixed some style issues.
