[PATCH] A few trivial spelling and grammar fixes

A few trivial spelling and grammar mistakes picked up in
"arch/x86_64/aperture.c", "arch/x86_64/crash.c" and
"arch/x86_64/apic.c". I think all are correct fixes but am ever aware
of my fallibility :o) This is my first patch submission so all
feedback is appreciated, esp. WRT CCing to Linus, Andi and
trivial@kernel.org, is this correct? And which is the most appropriate
kernel version to diff against? If any.

Should apply cleanly to 2.6.18-rc1
