so it will be consistent with code mm directory and with
Documentation/admin-guide/mm and won't be confused with virtual machines.

Currently unpoison_memory(unsigned long pfn) is designed for soft
poison(hwpoison-inject) only. Since 17fae1294ad9d, the KPTE gets cleared
on a x86 platform once hardware memory corrupts.
Unpoisoning a hardware corrupted page puts page back buddy only, the
kernel has a chance to access the page with *NOT PRESENT* KPTE. This
leads BUG during accessing on the corrupted KPTE.
Suggested by David&Naoya, disable unpoison mechanism when a real HW error
happens to avoid BUG like this:
Unpoison: Software-unpoisoned page 0x61234
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff888061234000
#PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page

This is pretty much unused and not really useful. What is more, all
relevant MCA hardware has recoverable machine checks support so there's
no real need to tweak MCA tolerance levels in order to *maybe* extend
machine lifetime.
So rip it out.

The hwpoison support for huge page, both hugetlb and THP, has been in
kernel for a while, the statement in document is obsolete, correct it.

The asterisks prepended to the quoted text currently get translated to
bullet points, which gets increasingly confusing the smaller your
screen is (when viewing the sphinx output, that is).
Convert the whole quote to a literal block.

Several documents in Documentation/vm fit quite well into the "admin/user
guide" category. The documents that don't overload the reader with lots of
implementation details and provide coherent description of certain feature
can be moved to Documentation/admin-guide/mm.
