Specifically, socket(2) contains a reference to Documentation/crypto/crypto-API-userspace.txt. With the patch [1] the document is gone and its contents is moved into a DocBook. Shall the kernel DocBook website [2] be referenced? If so, when is it appropriate to add the patch (note, the change is expected to be propagated to Linus' tree in 4.1-rc1).
