Subject: [PATCH] doc: small kernel-parameters updates
Date: Fri, 01 May 2009 21:27:45 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49FBCBC1.3050006@oracle.com> (raw)

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>

Change last "i386" to X86-32 as is used throughout the rest of the file.
Change combination of X86-32,X86-64 to just X86, as is done throughout
the rest of the file.

Add a note that hyphens and underscores are equivalent in parameter names,
with examples.
