 tools/memory-model/README                     | 10 +++++-----  

As mentioned in the previous thread, I am for keeping the current
references: the REAMDE is listing the doc files, as well as other
files in tools/memory-model/, relatively to that directory.

Yeah, at least this hunk deserves some rework, as now some
references are Documentation/.../foo, while others are just
bar.

As on (almost) all other places (except for tools/memory-model/README),
the references are always from the main directory, I would make all
patches there also relative to main dir. If you're afraid of
not being too clearer, we could prefix all of them with something
like:

	${LINUX}/tools/memory-model/...

just like some DT binding files do:

	Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sound/audio-graph-card.txt:see ${LINUX}/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/graph.txt

A bonus of doing that is that the broken reference detect script can
keep parsing it without changes (well, it wouldn't be hard to make
it also accept a relative file, but doing that just due to 
tools/memory-model/README seems overkill).

Another advantage is that it would allow to easily add references
there from the main kernel Documentation, if needed in the future,
without messing with local x non-local relative namespace.

How about changing the relative references so that something like
Documentation/recipes.txt becomes ./Documentation/recipes.txt?
