This description was a bit confusing with the way the general
syntax was described so I re-wrote it a bit. Also, added the
requirement that if you use module_conf for a given <modname>,
then you must also include the <modname> as part of the new
KERNEL_MODULE_PROBECONF variable.

Updated the ref-qa-checks.xml chapter so that each QA warning
or error message would generate a permalink that is suitable
for searching from the poky codebase. To implement this, I
had to embed an id marker in the <para> tag that precedes each
<code></code> tag pair. The 'xxx' string of the id is the leaf
portion of the permalink.
This creates the following tag construct:
<para id='xxx'>
<code>
some-warning-or-error-message
</code>
</para>
The permalink is generated with the help of the new
qa-code-permalinks.xsl file, which triggers on the
<para><code></code></para> construct. This new file resides
in documentation/template.
Right now, this construct
is unique to the ref-manual's chapter on the QA error and warnings
chapter only. However, if for some reason that construct is
used in any other part of the ref-manual, a generically numbered
permalink would also be generated.
The ref-manual-customization.xsl file was also altered to include
the new documentation/template/qa-code-permalinks.xsl file.

The initrd image used by the Linux kernel is list of file
system images concatenated together and presented as a single
initrd file at boot time.
So far the initrd is a single filesystem image. But in cases
like to support early microcode loading, the initrd image need
to have multiple filesystem images concatenated together.
This commit is extending the INITRD variable from a single
filesystem image to a list of filesystem images to satisfy
the need mentioned above.
