Kernel documentation and understanding code

Hi.

I've put together a very poor, very ugly, unlovable web site I call The
Linux Kernel GLossary. Its just my attempt to document various concepts
and terms either in the kernel, from the source or as thrown around on the
linux-kernel list.

Its small (only about 4 entries), incomplete, possibly (likely, rather)
inaccurate. I started it for my own use, but I think that something like
it would be useful in general, if the idea was thought out better.
Currently, I use it in place of a notepad, as my handwriting is atrocious.

The latest addition was for dcache and dentry, thanks to Linus'
explanation on the two concepts. I hope I didn't butcher them too much
when I summarised.
