docs: STORAGE_ADAPTER_DESCRIPTOR

Someone at Microsoft, please tell the documentation people that the Win
2000 DDK HTML documentation of the struct STORAGE_ADAPTER_DESCRIPTOR
differs from that actual definition in ntddstor.h. The data-type and
width of the field 'BusType' is wrong, and the docs indicate an additional
field, 'CachesData', which does not exist.

And WHY is the actual BusType field a BOOLEAN when, in the similar struct
STORAGE_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR, it is the more logical STORAGE_BUS_TYPE?
