    Put some information (and pointers to more) into the kernel's doc tree,
    describing briefly the interface to the kernel's disk head unloading
    facility. Information about how to set up a complete shock protection
    system under GNU/Linux can be found on the web and is referenced
    accordingly.
    
    v3:
    Here is some final polish including various spelling corrections
    pointed out by Grant Grundler and Peter Moulder. Also, I have added some
    information about the timing constraints related to disk head parking.
    The patch looks more impressive than it really is and I think it would
    be alright just to incorporate it into the original patch so as not to
    clutter up the git log.
