  To: Jonathan Corbet; +Cc: Shuah Khan, linux-doc, linux-kernel, Kit Dallege, Claude

Fix five minor grammatical issues:
- Add comma after introductory phrase "At that point"
- Add comma before conditional "if at all possible"
- Change "close to ready" to "close to being ready"
- Add article "a" before "more extensive review"
- Add article "the" before "volume can reach"
