I don't know if that big note about the bpf device I included is necessary, but both LINT and GENERIC tell the user to be aware of the consequences of using bpf, so I figured I might as well make it clear what those consequences are. Also, if you look at the patch, it looks like I screwed up indentation, but when the patch is actually applied, the indentation is correct (at least on my system). I have no idea why this is. And finally, just a question -- this patch turns a couple of paragraphs into a <listitem> within an <itemizedlist> and adjusts those paragraphs' indentation accordingly. Is it better to create two patches, one to make the paragraphs part of the list and then another with the whitespace change to make the section fit the style guide, or is it OK just to wrap the whole thing up in one patch like I did?
