docs: split up the driver book We don't need to keep it as a single large file anymore; split it up so that it is easier to manage and the individual sections can be read directly as plain files. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

========================================
The Linux driver implementer's API guide
========================================
The kernel offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development
of device drivers. This document is an only somewhat organized collection
of some of those interfaces — it will hopefully get better over time! The
available subsections can be seen below.

PM / core / docs: Convert sleep states API document to reST Move the document describing the system sleep state transitions API for devices to Documentation/driver-api/pm/, convert it to reST and update it to use current terminology. Also remove the remaining reference to the old version of it from pm.h. The new document still contains references to some documents in the .txt format that will be converted later.

docs: Convert the deviceio template to RST Convert deviceiobook.tmpl to RST and incorporate it into the driver API manual. Like the rest of our documentation, this one could use some work. There's no mention of ioremap() and friends, no mention of io_read*() and friends. But we have nice documentation for all those folks writing new drivers that do port I/O :). The :c:func: notation has been left off of all the read*/write* functions. There's no kerneldoc comments for them anyway, so those links will never be live, and writing a bunch of repetitive "read a byte from I/O memory" comments lacks appeal.

dma-buf: Extract dma-buf.rst Just prep work to polish and consolidate all the dma-buf related documenation. Unfortunately I didn't discover a way to both integrate this new file into the overall toc while keeping it at the current place. Work around that by moving it into the overall driver-api/index.rst.

docs: Convert the regulator docbook to RST A fairly straightforward conversion to RST; the document is then added to the driver-api manual. Of course, this document has seen no substantive changes since 2008, so chances are it needs work in other areas as well.

driver-api: create an edac.rst file with EDAC documentation Currently, there's no device driver documentation for the EDAC subsystem at the driver-api book. Fill in the blanks for the structures and functions that misses documentation, uniform the word on the existing ones, and add a new edac.rst file at driver-api, in order to document the EDAC subsystem.
