Hi,
the documentation of a kernel should document that kernel.
Now, we have a perfectly fine tool named "git" which allows
for metadocumentation. May I suggest that you respin the patch
and include a link to the old stuff, which somebody has been
nice enough to find, in the change log?
Regards
Oliver
