[PATCH 0/2] clean up scsi documentation

here are my patches to clean up the scsi documentation. It is split in three
parts:

0) Do the work. A small script that does the following things:
-create Documentation/scsi/
-move all the scsi documentation from Documentation/ and drivers/scsi/ to this
location
-kill ChangeLog.serverraid. It's a duplication from ChangeLog.ips but is
missing some bits (got ok from maintainer to do this)
-rename README.drivername to drivername.txt which is more common in
Documentation/*
NOTE: start this script on the top level of the source tree (/usr/src/linux or
whereever you put it).
