[KJ] [PATCH] Fixed some errors in User Mode Linux documentation

I made a few fixes in the User Mode Linux documentation, but these can't
be fixed because git doesn't detect some of the problems.  (For example,
it doesn't realise that there are some stray backspaces that got
injected into the file somehow.)  You can use the following commands to
reformat everything correctly:

sed -i -e 's/\n{3,}/\n\n/g' Documentation/uml/UserModeLinux-HOWTO.txt
sed -i -e 's/.\b//g' Documentation/uml/UserModeLinux-HOWTO.txt

It appears to be a generated file (from what source, Jeff?).

The backspaces produce underlines or strikeover (composed)
characters on printers that support such positioning.

It's a bit much for the kernel Documentation/ directory IMHO. :)

It (and the equivalent html) are generated from an SGML file, which in
turn is generated from a bunch of XML files which are also used to
generate part of the UML web site.
