OK, I've gone ahead and applied these; it gains me a new trivial conflict
with x86, but so be it...

That said, I think that the RST table formatting could be *way* improved.
The current tables are all white space and hard to make sense of.  What if
we condensed the information?  Just looking at the first entry in
Documentation/admin-guide/features.html, perhaps it could look like:

    FEATURE	KCONFIG/DESCRIPTION		STATUS

    cBPF-JIT	HAVE_CBPF_JIT			TODO: alpha, arc, arm...
    						ok: mips, powerpc, ...
		arch supports cBPF JIT
		optimizations

The result would be far more compact and easy to read, IMO.  I may get
around to giving this a try if (hint :) nobody else gets there first.

Thanks,
