Subject: [PATCH 00/11] Organize and clean up the admin and process guides

The creation of the admin and process guides is a great thing, but, without
care, we risk replacing a messy docs directory with a few messy Sphinx
books.  In an attempt to head that off and show what I'm thinking, here's a
set of tweaks that, I think, make the existing Sphinx-formatted docs a bit
more accessible.

Hopefully none of this is too controversial.  That's probably too much to
hope for in the case of the deleted documents, though, since deleting
anything seems to be an uphill battle.

Jonathan Corbet (11):
  docs: Tweak the top-level Sphinx page
  docs: retitle the kernel-documentation.rst
  docs: Clean up and organize the admin guide a bit
  docs: Get rid of the badRAM guide
  docs: Get rid of the "basic profiling" guide
  docs: Get rid of the "bug-hunting" guide
  docs: Apply some basic organization to the process guide
  docs: Tweak submitting-patches.rst formatting
  docs: Collapse the process guide TOC
  docs: add a warning to submitting-drivers.rst
  docs: Add a warning to applying-patches.rst
