As we'll type this a lot, after adding CodingStyle & friends,
let's rename the directory name to a shorter one.

Now that the files at Documentation/development-process/
were converted to ReST, make create a book at Sphinx.
As we'll have other books related to the development process,
we'll add it as a sub-book.

Now that the documents were converted, rename them to .rst, as
this is needed by the Sphinx build logic.

This document is on good shape for ReST: all it was needed was
to fix the section markups, add a toctree, convert the tables
and add a few code/quote blocks.
While not strictly required, I opted to use lowercase for
the titles, just like the other books that were converted
to Sphinx.

Now that the new Sphinx world order is taking over, the information in
kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt is outmoded. I hate to remove it altogether,
since it's one of those files that people expect to find. But we can add a
warning and fix all the other pointers to it.

The Japanese/Korean/Chinese versions still need updating.
Also, the stable kernel 2.6.x.y descriptions are out of date
and should be updated as well.

There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.
Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
they were part of.

The sleeping inside spinlock detection is actually used
for more general sleeping inside atomic sections
debugging: preemption disabled, rcu read side critical
sections, interrupts, interrupt disabled, etc...
Change the name of the config and its help section to
reflect its more general role.

Here's a set of changes updating Documentation/development-process. I have
update kernel releases and relevant statistics, added information for a
couple of tools, zapped some trailing white space, and generally tried to
make it more closely match the current state of affairs.
[Typo fixes from Joe Perches and Nicolas Kaiser incorporated]

This is confusing, as we have "staging" trees for drivers/staging. Call
them -next trees.

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.
