[PATCH] various doc/kernel-parameters fixes

From: Randy Dunlap
Date: Thu Jul 26 2007 - 19:40:01 EST


From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx>

- tell what APIC (by request), MTD, & PARIDE mean
- correct some source file names
- remove IA64 "llsc*=" (seems to have been removed from source tree)
- removel SCSI "53c7xx=" (driver already removed)
