* kernel-dev: Added "-dirty String" section.Scott Rifenbark2013-01-301-0/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The "-dirty" String section from the old YP Kernel Architecture and Use Manual was moved to section 2.3 of the manual. It needs to find the right area to be put in (AR for Darren). I added the AR text to the top of the section so it would not fall through the cracks.

* kernel-dev: Added "Inspecting Changes and Commits" sectionScott Rifenbark2013-01-301-0/+108
| | | | | | | | | | | | | A Section about seeing what has changed in a kernel tree was moved from the old YP Kernel Architecture and Use Manual to this new manual. The section moved was "Change Inspection: Changes/Commits". In addition to moving the sections, I shortened them up by removing verbose parts of the section.

* kernel-dev: Added "Maintenance" appendix.Scott Rifenbark2013-01-302-0/+220
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New appendix required adding the kernel-dev-maint-appx.xml file. The contents are sections 3.2 and 3.3 from the old YP Kernel Architecture and Use Manual, which is "Tree Construction" and "Build Strategy." According to Darren Hart, this information should be retained for the few people on the planet that might ever need it. In addition to adding the new file, I had to add the bits to the kernel-dev.xml manual to support including the appendix when making the manual.

* kernel-dev: Added "Kernel Architecture" section.Scott Rifenbark2013-01-302-0/+164
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Moved the "Kernel Architecture" section from the YP Kernel Architecture and Use Manual to this manual. The section included the kernel-architecture-overview.png figure. So, I added that PNG file to the "figures" folder. Finally, I had to also add the PNG file to the Makefile tarfile list for kernel-dev. Note that because the figure was part of the old YP Kernel Architecture and Use Manual, I did not have to add the figure to the mega-manual tarfile list.

* kernel-dev: Added an AR to the beginning for DarrenScott Rifenbark2013-01-301-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The concepts in three bulleted items in the old kernel manual need to be present in this new manual. I put in a bit of text right at the beginning of the manual in the form of an AR for Darren. This will eventually be removed, but for now it is there so that it won't slip through the cracks.
