In kernelconfig/chapter.sgml:

Remove a synopsis item discussing /dev entries.

In cutting-edge/chapter.sgml:
  Add some section IDs and make use of one (previous commit did not);
  Remove some info about -j being experimental;
  Use an estimated time period instead of discussing specific system configs;
  Do a quick s/take/make in a few places it otherwise seemed awkward.

PR:	92518 (based on part of this patch).
