The contents of leds driver docs is messy: it has lots of
admin-guide stuff and kernel internal ones, just like other
driver subsystems.
I'm opting to keep the dir at the same place and just add
a link to it. This makes clearer that this require changes.

While I was tempted to move it to admin-guide, as some docs
there are more userspace-faced, there are some very technical
discussions about memory error correction code from the Kernel
implementer's PoV. So, let's place it inside the driver-api
book.

The perf infrastructure is used for userspace to track issues.
At least a good part of what's described here is related to
it.
So, add it to the admin-guide.

This is actually a subsystem description, with contains both
kAPI and uAPI.
While it should ideally be slplit, let's place it at driver-api,
as most things are related to kAPI and driver-specific info.

Rename the iio documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html
output via the Sphinx build system.
The cdrom.txt and hdio.txt have their own particular syntax.
In order to speedup the conversion, I used a small ancillary
perl script:
my $d;
$d .= $_ while(<>);
$d =~ s/(\nCDROM\S+)\s+(\w[^\n]*)/$1\n\t$2\n/g;
$d =~ s/(\nHDIO\S+)\s+(\w[^\n]*)/$1\n\t$2\n/g;
$d =~ s/(\n\s*usage:)[\s\n]*(\w[^\n]*)/$1:\n\n\t $2\n/g;
$d =~ s/(\n\s*)(E\w+[\s\n]*\w[^\n]*)/$1- $2/g;
$d =~ s/(\n\s*)(inputs|outputs|notes):\s*(\w[^\n]*)/$1$2:\n\t\t$3\n/g;
print $d;
It basically add blank lines on a few interesting places. The
script is not perfect: still several things require manual work,
but it saved quite some time doing some obvious stuff.

The conversion itself is simple: add a markup for the
title of this file and add markups for both tables.
Yet, the big table here with IOCTL numbers is badly formatted:
on several lines, the "Include File" column has some values that
are bigger than the reserved space there.
Also, on several places, a comment was misplaced at the "Include
File" space.
So, most of the work here is to actually ensure that each field
will be properly fixed.
Also worth to mention that some URLs have the asterisk character
on it. Well, Sphinx has an issue with asterisks in the middle
of an string. As this is URL, use the alternate format: %2A.
As a side effect of this patch, it is now a lot easier to see that
some reserved ioctl numbers are missing the include files
where it is supposed to be used.
PS.: While this is part of a subdir, I opted to convert this
single file alone, as this file has a potential of conflicts,
as most subsystem maintainers touch it.

Rename the mtd documentation files to ReST, add an

It should be noticed that Sphinx doesn't handle very well
URLs with dots in the middle. Thankfully, internally, the '.'
char is translated to %2E, so we can jus use %2E instead of
dots, and this will work fine on both text and processed files.

past with no users, or APIs that existed only to manage cross tree

make the merge window cut off.

DEVICE_PRIVATE resource reservations

- the first one converts stream_open.cocci to treat all functions

This was picked by linux-kbuild and entered mainline as commit

calls as blocking"), and already merged earlier.
