Ingo Molnar 08b46d5dd8 x86/boot/e820: Clean up the E820 table size define names
We've got a number of defines related to the E820 table and its size:

	E820MAP
	E820NR
	E820_X_MAX
	E820MAX

The first two denote byte offsets into the zeropage (struct boot_params),
and can are not used in the kernel and can be removed.

The E820_*_MAX values have an inconsistent structure and it's unclear in any
case what they mean. 'X' presuably goes for extended - but it's not very
expressive altogether.

Change these over to:

	E820_MAX_ENTRIES_ZEROPAGE
	E820_MAX_ENTRIES

... which are self-explanatory names.

No change in functionality.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
