Thank you all very much for your reviews!
In this particular case, I chose the American spelling because it
existed too in the same file (see
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-hacking.tmpl#1098).
I guess it is fine to have 2 different spellings for the same word in
the same document, right? Otherwise, arbitrating between the 2 options
can be pretty tricky.
