We currently welcome using swait over wait whenever possible because it is a slimmer data structure. However, Linus has made it very clear that he does not want this used, unless under very specific RT scenarios (such as current users). Update the comments before kernel hipsters start thinking swait is the cool thing to do. Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <dbueso@suse.de> Acked-by: Luis R.

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.
