Linus Torvalds 02bafd96f3 This is the documentation update pull for the 4.9 merge window. 
The Sphinx transition is still creating a fair amount of work.  Here we
 have a number of fixes and, importantly, a proper PDF output solution,
 thanks to Jani Nikula, Mauro Carvalho Chehab and Markus Heiser.
 
 I've started a couple of new books: a driver API book (based on the old
 device-drivers.tmpl) and a development tools book.  Both are meant to show
 how we can integrate together our existing documentation into a more
 coherent and accessible whole.  It involves moving some stuff around and
 formatting changes, but, I think, the results are worth it.  The good news
 is that most of our existing Documentation/*.txt files are *almost* in RST
 format already; the amount of messing around required is minimal.
 
 And, of course, there's the usual set of updates, typo fixes, and more.
