After applying the patch, the on-line manual would have the nodes

* Reverting (about reverting)
* Auto-revert (about auto-revert)
* Non-file buffers (about auto-reverting non-file buffers)
** Auto-reverting the buffer menu
** Auto-reverting Dired

but I'd rather have

* Reverting (about reverting)
* Auto-revert (about auto-revert, including non-buffer files)
** Auto-reverting the buffer menu
** Auto-reverting Dired

except that in the printed manual, the non-buffer part is a section of
its own. The attached patch hacks around it by removing @node and
@section from arevert-xtra.texi; perhaps it can be stomached.
