There is a fierce battle amongst those who insist on one space after a
full stop and those who insist on two.  I recommend not getting caught
up in this battle, particularly since the point of this is to produce
html documentation and the amount of space displayed after a period is
then up to your web browser, not the source text.

I would not NACK this patch, since it does fix a typo, but please don't
send any more patches which adjust the number of whitespaces after a
full stop.

I've applied this for the typo fix, but let me echo Willy's comments about
the whitespace change.  There is no official policy on spaces after
periods in kernel documentation, and I have no interest in adding one;
I'll not be accepting patches making such changes in the future.

Thanks,

jon
