dbaaec99cb Update the kernel configuration section to cover 6.1:
- Update the lists of device drivers and tweak a few comments.
- Add a couple of missing options, like PREEMPTION and kbdmux.
- Remove some SCHED_ULE information.  It's not stable and we
  shouldn't encourage users to make the switch, at least not
  right now.
- Remove some 386-specific info.  We can't keep old stuff like
  this around forever, so let's nuke it.

This is not perfect yet though.  There are still some
differences between GENERIC in 6.1 and this document.

f571554b8b 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.

3f0d1b56f0 Do what I swore would be done:
o Remove 4.X information, this includes notes and sections.

o Update documentation to reflect 5.X and 6.X.

o In some areas, try to make the new content version agnostic.

o Skip areas stating "5.[0-5] and later" as it's relevant - we
need a better way to handle these.

For several items, I checked the NOTES files, manual pages,
CVS history, etc.
