So I absolutely love this patch; we really need to clean this kind of
cruft out of the docs.

Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to docs-next; did you prepare it against
linux-next, perhaps? Is there any chance I could get a version against
docs-next?

If you're up for further work on this file, it would be nice to get rid of
the 2.x "changelog" text at the beginning; I don't think that has any real
value now.

Thanks,
