The Userspace I/O HOWTO template sets two different sections with the same
html output name (about.html). This clearly won't work, so change the
first one to a unique "aboutthis.html" to prevent clobbering.

The Userspace I/O HOWTO document uses straight <sect1> tags and plain text
to describe copyright/legal information. It should instead use the
<copyright> and <legalnotice> tags like all other documents in the kernel.

Sometimes it is necessary to enable/disable the interrupt of a UIO device
from the userspace part of the driver. With this patch, the UIO kernel driver
can implement an "irqcontrol()" function that does this. Userspace can write
an s32 value to /dev/uioX (usually 0 or 1 to turn the irq off or on). The
UIO core will then call the driver's irqcontrol function.

Remove references to the old uio_dummy demo module from UIO documentation.
Add a small paragraph to make it clearer that UIO is not a universal driver
interface.

UIO currently contains a rather dubious statement which wants removing.
The actual questions around whether user space code that depends tightly
on kernel GPL code designed to co-work with it are derivative works of
the kernel is extremely complex, and since we don't have space for either
a masters length essay on legal issues or need to start flamewars lets
simply remove the comment and leave law to lawyers
