Commit 37d69ee308 ("docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.81")
changes one entry of GNU make version in the changes.rst, there's still
one more entry saying that one need version 3.80. Fix that.

Since 2014, you can't successfully build kernels with GNU Make version
3.80. Example errors:
$ git describe
v4.11
$ make --version | head -1
GNU Make 3.80
$ make defconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
scripts/Makefile.host:135: *** missing separator. Stop.
make: *** [defconfig] Error 2
$ make ARCH=arm64 help
arch/arm64/Makefile:43: *** unterminated call to function `warning': missing `)'. Stop.
$ make help >/dev/null
./Documentation/Makefile.sphinx:25: Extraneous text after `else' directive
./Documentation/Makefile.sphinx:31: *** only one `else' per conditional. Stop.
make: *** [help] Error 2
The first breakage was introduced by commit c8589d1e9e ("kbuild:
handle multi-objs dependency appropriately"). Since then (i.e. v3.18),
GNU Make 3.80 has not been able to compile the kernel, but nobody has
ever complained aboutt (or noticed) it.
Even GNU Make 3.81 is more than 10 years old. It would not hurt to
match the documentation with reality instead of fixing makefiles.

In Documentation/process/4.Coding.rst there were a couple of paragraphs
that spilled over the 80 character line length. This was likely caused
when the document was converted to reStructuredText. Re-flow the
paragraphs and make the document references proper reStructuredText
:ref: links.
This also adds the appropriate reStructuredText file heading to
kernel-parameters.rst as referenced by the kernel-parameters link in
this patch.

Backmerge tag 'v4.11-rc6' into drm-next
Linux 4.11-rc6
drm-misc needs 4.11-rc5, may as well fix conflicts with rc6.
A patch documenting how to specify which kernels a particular fix should
be backported to (seemingly) inadvertently added a minus sign after the

The creation of the admin and process guides is a great thing, but, without
care, we risk replacing a messy docs directory with a few messy Sphinx
books. In an attempt to head that off and show what I'm thinking, here's a
set of tweaks that, I think, make the existing Sphinx-formatted docs a bit
more accessible.
This is ancient stuff and we don't do things this way anymore. In the
absence of simply deleting the document, at least add a warning to it.
