Hi,
I was looking through hsdis documentation to build and install
it on the recent versions of JDK. Seems like there are few things
in the installation section, that might be improved.
Could anyone please review the patch below?

* Installing
-Products are named like build/$OS-$LIBARCH/hsdis-$LIBARCH.so. You can
-install them on your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or inside of your JRE/JDK. The
-search path in the JVM is:
-
-1. <home>/jre/lib/<arch>/<vm>/libhsdis-<arch>.so
-2. <home>/jre/lib/<arch>/<vm>/hsdis-<arch>.so
-3. <home>/jre/lib/<arch>/hsdis-<arch>.so
+Products are named like build/$OS-$LIBARCH/hsdis-$LIBARCH.so. You can
+install them next to your libjvm.so inside JRE/JDK or alternatively
+put it anywhere on your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. JVM looks up several paths
+derived from libjvm.so in the following order:
+
+1. <home>/lib/server/libhsdis-<arch>.so
+2. <home>/lib/server/hsdis-<arch>.so
+3. <home>/lib/hsdis-<arch>.so
4. hsdis-<arch>.so (using LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
-Note that there's a bug in hotspot versions prior to hs22 that causes
-steps 2 and 3 to fail when used with JDK7.

Now test:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH .../hsdis/build/$OS-$LIBARCH:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Thanks,
Sergei
