Fix "can not" in Documentation and Kconfig Randy brought it to my attention that in proper english "can not" should always be written "cannot". I donot see any reason to argue, even if I mightnot understand why this rule exists. This patch fixes "can not" in several Documentation files as well as three Kconfigs.

stable: Allow merging of backports for serious user-visible performance issues Distribution kernel maintainers routinely backport fixes for users that were deemed important but not "something critical" as defined by the rules. To users of these kernels they are very serious and failing to fix them reduces the value of -stable. The problem is that the patches fixing these issues are often subtle and prone to regressions in other ways and need greater care and attention. To combat this, these "serious" backports should have a higher barrier to entry. This patch relaxes the rules to allow a distribution maintainer to merge to -stable a backported patch or small series that fixes a "serious" user-visible performance issue. They should include additional information on the user-visible bug affected and a link to the bugzilla entry if available. The same rules about the patch being already in mainline still apply.

Documentation: -stable rules: upstream commit ID requirement reworded It is a hard requirement to include the upstream commit ID in the changelog of a -stable submission, not just a courtesy to the stable team. This concerns only mail submission though, which is no longer the only way into stable. (Also, fix a double "the".)

Doc/stable rules: add new cherry-pick logic - it is possible to submit patches for the stable queue without sending them directly stable@kernel.org. If the tag (Cc: stable@kernel.org) is available in the sign-off area than hpa's script will filter them into the stable mailbox once it hits Linus' tree. - Patches which require others to be applied first can be also specified.
