ec97946ed0 Coccinelle: Update information about the minimal version required
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.

26e5672091 coccicheck: Allow the user to give a V= (verbose) argument
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.

a1087ef6ab scripts/coccinelle: update for compatability with Coccinelle 0.2.4
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.
