+Managing bug reports
+--------------------
+
+One of the best ways to put into practice your hacking skills is by fixing
+bugs reported by other people. Not only you will help to make the kernel
+more stable, you'll learn to fix real world problems and you will improve
+your skills, and other developers will be aware of your presence. Fixing
+bugs is one of the best ways to get merits among other developers, because
+not many people like wasting time fixing other people's bugs.
+
+To work in the already reported bug reports, go to http://bugzilla.kernel.org.
+If you want to be advised of the future bug reports, you can subscribe to the
+bugme-new mailing list (only new bug reports are mailed here) or to the
+bugme-janitor mailing list (every change in the bugzilla is mailed here)

 Usage Notes :
 
-Prior to call ccw_device_start() the device driver must assure disabled state,
-i.e. the I/O mask value in the PSW must be disabled. This can be accomplished
-by calling local_save_flags( flags). The current PSW flags are preserved and
-can be restored by local_irq_restore( flags) at a later time.
-
-If the device driver violates this rule while running in a uni-processor
-environment an interrupt might be presented prior to the ccw_device_start()
-routine returning to the device driver main path. In this case we will end in a
-deadlock situation as the interrupt handler will try to obtain the irq
