0f83aaa3c0 genericirq.rst: Remove :c:func:... in code blocks
In code blocks, :c:func:`...` annotations don't result in
cross-references. Instead, they are rendered verbatim.  Remove these
broken annotations, and mark function calls with parentheses() again.

Fixes: 76d40fae13 ("genericirq.rst: add cross-reference links and use monospaced fonts")

7832681b36 Merge tag 'docs-4.15' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "A relatively calm cycle for the docs tree again.

  - The old driver statement has been added to the kernel docs.

  - We have a couple of new helper scripts. find-unused-docs.sh from
    Sayli Karnic will point out kerneldoc comments that are not actually
    used in the documentation. Jani Nikula's
    documentation-file-ref-check finds references to non-existing files.

  - A new ftrace document from Steve Rostedt.

  - Vinod Koul converted the dmaengine docs to RST

  Beyond that, it's mostly simple fixes.

  This set reaches outside of Documentation/ a bit more than most. In
  all cases, the changes are to comment docs, mostly from Randy, in
  places where there didn't seem to be anybody better to take them"

533966c8ad doc: Fix RCU's docbook options
Commit 764f80798b ("doc: Add RCU files to docbook-generation files")
added :external: options for RCU source files in the file
Documentation/core-api/kernel-api.rst.  However, this now means nothing,
so this commit removes them.

7d7363e403 documentation: kernel-api: add more info on bitmap functions
There are some good comments about bitmap operations in lib/bitmap.c
and include/linux/bitmap.h, so format them for document generation and
pull them into core-api/kernel-api.rst.

I converted the "tables" of functions from using tabs to using spaces
so that they are more readable in the source file and in the generated
output.

6312811be2 Merge remote-tracking branch 'mauro-exp/docbook3' into death-to-docbook
Mauro says:

This patch series convert the remaining DocBooks to ReST.

The first version was originally
send as 3 patch series:

   [PATCH 00/36] Convert DocBook documents to ReST
   [PATCH 0/5] Convert more books to ReST
   [PATCH 00/13] Get rid of DocBook

The lsm book was added as if it were a text file under
Documentation. The plan is to merge it with another file
under Documentation/security, after both this series and
a security Documentation patch series gets merged.

It also adjusts some Sphinx-pedantic errors/warnings on
some kernel-doc markups.

I also added some patches here to add PDF output for all
existing ReST books.
