I've got a script that makes html navigation pages from the 00-INDEX  
files and another one that parses that to find dead links in both  
directions. (Files with no 00-INDEX entry and 00-INDEX entries that  
don't refer ot a file.)

I haven't run it in forever because the kernel.org guys took  
everybody's accounts away, and they won't give me a new .ssh key  
without a blood test or some such, and even if I did jump through the  
hoops they made ssh go to a git wrapper you can't rsync through, so I  
can't update kernel.org/doc/Documentation anymore. (Files attached  
anyway.)

The patch looks good, but it also highlights the fact that this  
directory needs a wholesale cleanup. Translations into languages the  
developers don't speak and can't audit really don't belong in this  
directory (they belong on the web somewhere), but Greg KH says  
otherwise. The architecture stuff needs to be collated under an "arch"  
directory the same way the source is. Zorro is still a serial driver at  
the top level...

Sigh. I have buckets of things I want to do to this directory but no  
longer have a kernel account. *shrug*

Can you send it through the trivial tree?
