Linus Torvalds c58d4055c0 A reasonably busy cycle for documentation this time around. There is a new
guide for user-space API documents, rather sparsely populated at the
 moment, but it's a start.  Markus improved the infrastructure for
 converting diagrams.  Mauro has converted much of the USB documentation
 over to RST.  Plus the usual set of fixes, improvements, and tweaks.
 
 There's a bit more than the usual amount of reaching out of Documentation/
 to fix comments elsewhere in the tree; I have acks for those where I could
 get them.

Hans-Christian Noren Egtvedt c0c74acbb6 docs: remove all references to AVR32 architecture
The AVR32 architecture support has been removed from the Linux kernel,
hence remove all references to it from Documentation.

Andrew Clayton 9b9355a269 docs: process/4.Coding.rst: Fix a couple of document refs
In Documentation/process/4.Coding.rst there were a couple of paragraphs
that spilled over the 80 character line length. This was likely caused
when the document was converted to reStructuredText. Re-flow the
paragraphs and make the document references proper reStructuredText
:ref: links.

This also adds the appropriate reStructuredText file heading to
kernel-parameters.rst as referenced by the kernel-parameters link in
this patch.

Jonathan Corbet 7358bb2f32 docs: Clean up and organize the admin guide a bit
The admin guide is a good start, but it's time to turn it into something
better than an unordered blob of files.  This is a first step in that
direction.  The TOC has been split up and annotated, the guides have been
reordered, and minor tweaks have been applied to a few of them.

One consequence of splitting up the TOC is that we don't really want to use
:numbered: anymore, since the count resets every time and there doesn't
seem to be a way to change that.  Eventually we probably want to group the
documents into sub-books, at which point we can go back to a single TOC,
but it's probably early to do that.
