kernel-dev: Reorganized Kernel Metadata Location and Syntax sections

2017-03-24T23:44:03+00:00

It seems that the two sections "Kernel Metadata Location" and "Kernel Metadata Syntax" were flipped regarding their order of apperance in the kernel-dev manual. I belive that syntax should be first and then followed by a discussion on the location. I have swapped these section's ordering in the manual.

kernel-dev: Corrected linking format for two variables.

2017-03-24T23:44:03+00:00

Convention is to avoid using hyperlinks for variables that appear in / coded blocks. I removed the links for the KERNEL_FEATURES and LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE variables, which appeared in a literal block and put the links into the context of the description.

kernel-dev: Fix the locations of .config and source directory

2016-06-06T21:53:35+00:00

The locations of the kernel .config file and source direcotry moved a couple releases ago. Updated the documentation accordingly. Also added a note explaining how to check the expansion of variables, which servs a couple of purposes: * For curious readers, shows them how to understand where these variables come from and how they are used. * For suspicious readers, shows them how they can verify that the variables in the documentation are actually correct.
