Subject: [PATCH v2 00/20] Create a book for Kernel development

There are several documents related to Kernel development, where the
HOWTO working like an index to most of them. There are also a series
of files describing the development process.

Convert the documents mentioned at the HOWTO (including it) and the
development-process/ documents to ReST and add them at the Sphinx build.

NOTE: HOWTO also mentions the /README document on it. While IMHO it 
makes sense to convert it to ReST, moving it out of the main directory 
didn't sound a good idea. So, I'm leaving this one untouched.

PS.: I decided to do such conversion because today I received yet 
another email from one developer wanted to submit drivers, but not being 
aware of the right proceures. As usual, I pointed him to the Kernel 
sources, but there are a way too much documentation there with a mix of 
procedures and API docs inside.

It would be a way easier to point to a single URL where the submission 
procedures would be altoghether. Hopefully, this will have a lot of time 
in the future. My evil plan is to put this doc somewhere at LinuxTV and 
have a standard e-mail prepared for such next requests :-D

The produced output, in HTML, is at:
	https://mchehab.fedorapeople.org/development-process/

The LaTeX version at:
	https://mchehab.fedorapeople.org/development-process/latex/development-process.tex

And the PDF version at:
	https://mchehab.fedorapeople.org/development-process/latex/development-process.pdf

Version 2 changes:

- On version 1, I forgot to c/c LKML;
- Per Jonathan Corbet's suggestion, this version is placing all documents at
  the already existing developing-process/ directory, instead of creating a
  new dir;
- Also per Jon's suggestion, it also converts the development-process files
  to rst.
- Replaced all occurrences of the renamed files at the Kernel Documentation dir;
- Added conf.py and the need logic to produce both LaTeX and PDF output;
