PATCH one line: "vmlinux*.lds*" is in Documentation/dontdiff

[Etienne Lorrain]

 Hi,

 Please can you remove vmlinux*.lds* of Documentation/dontdiff from linux-2.6.24-rc7,
because a command like:
diff -urN -X linux-2.6.24/Documentation/dontdiff linux-2.6.24 linux-2.6.24-gujin
 does not include modifications of file "arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux_32.lds.S".

 Note also that the two files vmlinux_32.lds.S and vmlinux_64.lds.S have few lines
which begin by "space space tab", but I do not want to start a flamewar in between
vi, emacs and this other text editor...

 Thanks,
 Etienne.

Both these files are in a need for a consistency cleanup.
Have done so a few times but then lost the patch again.

Other like for example sparc64 have had such a cleanup.
