various doc/kernel-parameters fixes
- tell what APIC (by request), MTD, & PARIDE mean - correct some source file names - remove IA64 "llsc*=" (seems to have been removed from source tree) - removel SCSI "53c7xx=" (driver already removed) Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Acked-by: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
