c2a684930f sched/dl/Documentation: Clarify indexing notation
The "_i" index is used in this document to to denote a particular task,
so "sum_i", "max_i" and "min_i" might be confusing.

The name "C_i" was used (without previously defining it)
instead of "WCET_i".

b56bfc6cd1 Documentation/scheduler/sched-deadline.txt: Improve and clarify AC bits
Admission control is of key importance for SCHED_DEADLINE, since
it guarantees system schedulability (or tells us something about
the degree of guarantees we can provide to the user).

This patch improves and clarifies bits and pieces regarding AC,
both for UP and SMP systems.

ad67dc316f Documentation/scheduler/sched-deadline.txt: Fix terminology and improve clarity
Several small changes regarding SCHED_DEADLINE documentation
that fix terminology and improve clarity and readability:

 - "current runtime" becomes "remaining runtime"

 - readablity of an equation is improved by introducing more spacing

 - clarify when admission control will certainly fail

 - new URL for CBS technical report

 - substitue "smallest" with "earliest"
