Update the hacking guide, before CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT goes in and it needs
rewriting again.
Changes include modernization of quotes, removal of most references to
bottom halves (some mention required because we still use bh in places to
mean softirq).
It would be nice to have a discussion of sparse and various annotations.
Please send patches straight to akpm.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
