linux/Documentation
Jonathan Corbet fd5d2b832d Merge branch 'driver-api' into doc/4.9
This short series convers device-drivers.tmpl into the RST format, splits
it up, and sets up the result under Documentation/driver-api/.  For added
fun, I've taken one top-level file (hsi.txt) and folded it into the
document as a way of showing the direction I'm thinking I would like things
to go.  There is plenty more of this sort of work that could be done, to
say the least - this is just a beginning!

The formatted results can be seen at:

    http://static.lwn.net/kerneldoc/driver-api/index.html

As part of the long-term task to turn Documentation/ into less of a horror
movie, I'd like to collect documentation of the driver-specific API here.
Arguably gpu/ and the media API stuff should eventually move here, though
we can discuss the color of that particular shed some other day.
Meanwhile, I'd appreciate comments on the general idea.
