      Documentation: update broken web addresses. · 0ea6e611
      Justin P. Mattock authored
      
      Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
      updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
      Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
      the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
      Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
      on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
      to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

      mflash: initial support · 3fbed4c6
      unsik Kim authored
      
      This driver supports mflash IO mode for linux.
      
      Mflash is embedded flash drive and mainly targeted mobile and consumer
      electronic devices.
      
      Internally, mflash has nand flash and other hardware logics and supports 2
      different operation (ATA, IO) modes.  ATA mode doesn't need any new driver
      and currently works well under standard IDE subsystem.  Actually it's one
      chip SSD.  IO mode is ATA-like custom mode for the host that doesn't have
      IDE interface.
      
      Followings are brief descriptions about IO mode.
      A. IO mode based on ATA protocol and uses some custom command. (read confirm,
      write confirm)
      B. IO mode uses SRAM bus interface.
      C. IO mode supports 4kB boot area, so host can boot from mflash.
      
      This driver is quitely similar to a standard ATA driver, but because of
      following reasons it is currently seperated with ATA layer.
      
      1. ATA layer deals standard ATA protocol.  ATA layer have many low-
         level device specific interface, but data transfer keeps ATA rule.
         But, mflash IO mode doesn't.
      
      2. Even though currently not used in mflash driver code, mflash has
         some custom command and modes.  (nand fusing, firmware patch, etc) If
         this feature supported in linux kernel, ATA layer more altered.
      
      3. Currently PATA platform device driver doesn't support interrupt.
         (I'm not sure) But, mflash uses interrupt (polling mode is just for
         debug).
      
      4. mflash is somewhat under-develop product.  Even though some company
         already using mflash their own product, I think more time is needed for
         standardization of custom command and mode.  That time (maybe October)
         I will talk to with ATA people.  If they accept integration, I will
         integrate.
