Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] doc: update printk documentation

This set converts printk-formats.txt -> core-api/printk-formats.rst

We also update the documentation around printing kernel addresses.

This is my first documentation conversion. Please do be hard on this
patch series. I'd like to get it _really_ correct so that future
conversions will require less review effort. Also if there are any
peculiarities to patching docs (as apposed to C files) please say so.

Thank you for the time already given to reviewing previous versions.

thanks,
Tobin.

v4:
 - fix typo 'kpt_restrict' -> 'kptr_restrict' (thanks Randy).

v3:
 - Update filename .txt -> .rst in lib/vsnprintf.c comment (Joe Perches)
 - Remove unnecessary commas (as suggested by Randy Dunlap)
 - Re-apply theory 'make as few changes as possible to complete the
   conversion'

v2:
 - Remove conversion/inclusion of kernel-docs from lib/vsprintf.c
 - Add '<>' around file name (in section 'Thanks').
 - Remove a few more double back ticks.
 - Apply theory 'make as few changes as possible to complete the
   conversion'

Tobin C. Harding (3):
  doc: convert printk-formats.txt to rst
  doc: update kptr_restrict documentation
  doc: add documentation on printing kernel addresses
