We're working toward a rational document hierarchy using the sphinx system:

	https://lwn.net/Articles/692704/

The good news is that your switchtec.txt file is already 99% in the RST
format, so there is little or nothing to do there.

The bad news is that we don't quite have a place for it yet.  This is
really user-space developer documentation, and we don't have a sub-book
for that.  I expect that to change pretty soon, and I might even toss
together a bare beginning for 4.11, but that hasn't happened yet.

If you would like to learn the ropes and make one, that would be more than
great :)  Alternatively, I'd suggest just leaving the document as-is, and
I'll put it toward the top of the list of things to move into place once I
get that book started.

Thanks,
