cd99b9eb4b Documentation work keeps chugging along; stuff for 6.6 includes:
- Work from Carlos Bilbao to integrate rustdoc output into the generated
   HTML documentation.  This took some work to figure out how to do it
   without slowing the docs build and without creating people who don't have
   Rust installed, but Carlos got there.
 
 - Move the loongarch and mips architecture documentation under
   Documentation/arch/.
 
 - Some more maintainer documentation from Jakub
 
 ...plus the usual assortment of updates, translations, and fixes.

3822a7c409 - Daniel Verkamp has contributed a memfd series ("mm/memfd: add

ee86588960 docs/mm: remove useless markup
It is enough to use a file name to cross-reference another rst document.

Jon says:
  The right things will happen in the HTML output, readers of the
  plain-text will know immediately where to go, and we don't have to add
  the label clutter.

Drop reference markup and unnecessary labels and use plain file names.
