Alyssa Ross 8699039042 Documentation: sysrq: fix RST formatting
"On x86" and "On SPARC" are now definition list terms, like
"On PowerPC", "On other", and "On all".

The Credits list is now a bulleted list, like lots of Credits lists in
other files.  This prevents the list from becoming a single long,
unpunctuated sentence in the generated documentation.

I also did a couple of other tiny readability improvements to the
"How do I use the magic SysRq key?" section while I was there.

Adam Borowski 209c3aa7f0 Documentation: sysrq: don't recommend 'S' 'U' before 'B'
This advice is obsolete and slightly harmful for filesystems from this
millenium: any modern filesystem can handle unexpected crashes without
requiring fsck -- and on the other hand, trying to write to the disk when
the kernel is in a bad state risks introducing corruption.

For ext2, any unsafe shutdown meant widespread breakage, but it's no longer
a reasonable filesystem for any non-special use.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 9d85025b04 docs-rst: create an user's manual book
Place README, REPORTING-BUGS, SecurityBugs and kernel-parameters
on an user's manual book.

As we'll be numbering the user's manual, remove the manual
numbering from SecurityBugs.
