Subject: [PATCH] doc: fix kernel-parameters.txt formatting
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 10:55:42 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081219105542.e565c7c3.randy.dunlap@oracle.com> (raw)

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

Spell out "wrt".  I suspect plenty of people won't know
what that means.

Fix a '}' that should be a ']'.

Reformat long lines into shorter lines.
