Hello,
I found a "the the" typo in a header file, and then found out that there were many of them!

Here's a patch correcting all these typos.
By the way, this is also a way of making kernel sources smaller (by almost 1K).
The patch can also be found on http://free-electrons.com/pub/patches/linux/2.6.20/patch-2.6.20-the-the
Cheers,
	Michael

shouldn't this be "Note that the"?  (and so on)
IOW: some of these are typos.
Some time ago I've done a similar patch for "Documentation/" (remove

duplicated words) and fallen in the same mistake :)

Ciao Paolo,
You're definitely right...  Some more attention to the meaning of each sentence was needed.

I found several mistakes of this kind.
Michael.
