UK spelling, it's OK.

Thank you all very much for your reviews!

In this particular case, I chose the American spelling because it existed too in the same file (see http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-hacking.tmpl#1098). I guess it is fine to have 2 different spellings for the same word in the same document, right? Otherwise, arbitrating between the 2 options can be pretty tricky.

ack all except "iff".  That is "if and only if".
Oops, thanks for this reminder!

Cheers,
