Preferred kernel docs format is now restructured text. Convert
netdev-FAQ.txt to restructured text.
- Add SPDX license identifier.
- Change file heading 'Information you need to know about netdev' to
'netdev FAQ' to better suit displayed index (in HTML).
- Change question/answer layout to suit rst. Copy format in
Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst
- Fix indentation of code snippets
- If multiple consecutive URLs appear put them in a list (to maintain
whitespace).
- Use uniform spelling of 'bug fix' throughout document (not bugfix or
bug-fix).
- Add double back ticks to 'net' and 'net-next' when referring to the
trees.
- Use rst references for Documentation/ links.
- Add rst label 'netdev-FAQ' for referencing by other docs files.
- Remove stale entry from Documentation/networking/00-INDEX

Per discussion with David at netconf 2018, let's clarify
DaveM's position of handling stable backports in netdev-FAQ.
This is important for people relying on upstream -stable
releases.

According to
https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg177411.html
there is a status page available at
http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/net-next.html
to obtain the current status of the net-next tree. Let's add this
information to the netdev FAQ.

Bring in -rc4 patches so I can successfully merge the sound doc changes.

The previous patch renamed several files that are cross-referenced
along the Kernel documentation. Adjust the links to point to
the right places.

A collection of expectations and operational details about how
networking development takes place in the context of the netdev
mailing list.
The content is meant to capture specific items that are unique
to netdev workflow, and not re-document generic linux expectations
that are already captured elsewhere.
This was originally proposed[1] as a regular posting mailing list
FAQ, but it probably is more universally accessible here in tree.
