[PATCH] Documentation: kernel-parameters: sort all "no..." parameters
From: Randy Dunlap
Date: Thu Mar 16 2023 - 20:26:45 EST
Sort all of the "no..." kernel parameters into the correct order
as specified in kernel-parameters.rst: "into English Dictionary order
(defined as ignoring all punctuation and sorting digits before letters
in a case insensitive manner)".
No other changes here, just movement of lines.
