My local tree builds the docs sanely from what I can see, so if it
looks good to you too, yeah, please take these as they are. I'm sure
we'll need tweaks going forward, but this seems like the bulk of the
organizational and basic ReST work.

BTW, something I noticed in while doing this conversion is the
difference between the section headings and the left-side nav bar at
the top level:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/index.html

The section names don't match, and each of the Kernel API
Documentation sections is at the top level in the nav bar. I think
this would be cleaner if everything matched up, but I didn't yet dig
into figuring out why they were different.
