This patch also adds this information in the documentation. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Palix <nicolas.palix@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

The semantic patches in the kernel will work best with Coccinelle version

semantic patch code, but any results that are obtained should still be
