2017-07-14this_cpu_ops.txt: standardize document formatMauro Carvalho Chehab
Each text file under Documentation follows a different format. Some doesn't even have titles! Change its representation to follow the adopted standard, using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx: - promote document title one level; - mark literal blocks; - move authorship to the beginning of the file and use markups.

2014-09-26Docs: this_cpu_ops: remove redundant add formsMark Rutland
Commit ac490f4dca94 (Documentation: this_cpu_ops.txt: Update description of this_cpu_ops) added lists of {__,}this_cpu operations, but these have duplicate, parameter-less entries for {__,}this_cpu_add which don't correspond to any implementation. No other operations have such duplicate entries. Given both are also listed with their full complement of arguments, the empty forms are redundant and can be removed. This patch performs said removal.
