Linus Torvalds f96163865a This has been another busy cycle for documentation, with a lot of
build-system thrashing.  That work should slow down from here on out.
 
 - The various scripts and tools for documentation were spread out in
   several directories; now they are (almost) all coalesced under
   tools/docs/.  The holdout is the kernel-doc script, which cannot be
   easily moved without some further thought.
 
 - As the amount of Python code increases, we are accumulating modules that
   are imported by multiple programs.  These modules have been pulled
   together under tools/lib/python/ -- at least, for documentation-related
   programs.  There is other Python code in the tree that might eventually
   want to move toward this organization.
 
 - The Perl kernel-doc.pl script has been removed.  It is no longer used by
   default, and nobody has missed it, least of all anybody who actually had
   to look at it.
 
 - The docs build was controlled by a complex mess of makefilese that few
   dared to touch.  Mauro has moved that logic into a new program
   (tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper) that, with any luck at all, will be far
   easier to understand and maintain.
 
 - The get_feat.pl program, used to access information under
   Documentation/features/, has been rewritten in Python, bringing an end to
   the use of Perl in the docs subsystem.
 
 - The top-level README file has been reorganized into a more
   reader-friendly presentation.
 
 - A lot of Chinese translation additions
 
 - Typo fixes and documentation updates as usual
