Tell users that reporting bugs with vendor kernels which are only slightly patched can be okay in some situations, but point out there's a risk in doing so. Adjust some related sections to make them compatible and a bit clearer. At the same time make them less daunting: we want users to report bugs, even if they can't test vanilla mainline kernel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
