 The big picture is that USB drivers can continue to ignore most DMA issues,
 though they still must provide DMA-ready buffers (see
-Documentation/PCI/PCI-DMA-mapping.txt).  That's how they've worked through
+Documentation/DMA-mapping.txt).  That's how they've worked through
 the 2.4 (and earlier) kernels.

   force a consistent memory access ordering by using memory barriers.  It's
   not using a streaming DMA mapping, so it's good for small transfers on
   systems where the I/O would otherwise thrash an IOMMU mapping.  (See
-  Documentation/PCI/PCI-DMA-mapping.txt for definitions of "coherent" and

   "streaming" DMA mappings.)

[PATCH] Update security bugs policy in Documentation/SecurityBugs

This patch updates the security bugs handling policy in
Documentation/SecurityBugs, to match with the current practices

whatsoever.
