The naming convention of options has changed one year ago.
The options have been recently updated in the cocci file
and in scripts/coccicheck. This patch also adds this information
in the documentation.

Do not run with verbosity on/off depending on the ONLINE variable,
which gets set with C=1 or C=2, but allow the user to set the
verbosity using kernel default make V= paramemter.
Verbosity is off by default now.

For doubleinit.cocci, Coccinelle 0.2.4 requires a comma after ... in a
field list. Coccinelle also now behaves gracefully when a definition is
provided for a virtual that doesn't exist, so there is no need for the
semantic patch code to check for this case.
Updated the documentation to reflect the fact that the best results will
now be obtained with Coccinelle version 0.2.4 or later.

The purpose of this file is to document how to use Coccinelle and its
spatch tool to check the Linux kernel.
It gives information on where and how to retrieve Coccinelle, and how
to use it with the Coccinelle scripts integrated in the Linux kernel.
