Jonathan Corbet 9e1f08607f Merge branch 'mauro-books' into docs-next
Merge Mauro's massive patch series creating the process and admin-guide
books.  I think there's a lot of stuff to clean up here, but there's no
point in holding things up for that.

Mauro sez:

This patch series continues the efforts of converting the Linux Kernel
documentation to Sphinx.

It contains text to ReST conversion of several files under Documentation,
and a few ones under the main dir (README, REPORTING-BUGS).

All patches on this series can be found on my development tree:
	https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/log/?h=lkml-books-v2

The Kernel docs html output after this series can be seen at:

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 6bef44b9b9 README: add a new README file, pointing to the Documentation/
As we moved the real README file to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst,
let's add a replacement, pointing to it, and giving the main directions
about documentation.

In the future, perhaps it would be worth to move the contents
of Documentation/00-Index into this README.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 08a9a8d44c doc: re-add CodingStyle and SubmittingPatches
Those files got moved to Documentation/process, but as they're very
well known files, add pointers to their new locations.

PS.: I opted to not merge this patch with the previous one
in order to make the diff of the previous one more consistent,
as it will show only renames.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 186128f753 docs-rst: add documents to development-process
Add several documents to the development-process ReST book.

As we don't want renames, use symlinks instead, keeping those
documents on their original place.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 77514391ee Documentation/unicode.txt: convert it to ReST markup
Probably, unicode is something that we might remove from the
docs, as all modern systems support it. Yet, this chapter
is fun, as it mentions support for the Klington fictional
charset ;)

On the other hand, I bet all other OS user manuals
explicit mention unicode support.

So, convert it to ReST and include it at the user's book.
