388f9b20f9 Documentation/process/howto: Only send regression fixes after -rc1
The original text was not clear if white space or other harmless patches
should be merged in -rc kernels.  The discussion at Kernel Summit said
that we should be more strict about sending regression fixes only.

1dc4bbf0b2 docs-rst: doc-guide: split the kernel-documentation.rst contents
Having the kernel-documentation at the topmost level doesn't
allow generating a separate PDF file for it. Also, makes harder
to add extra contents. So, place it on a sub-dir.

d80b9d2aba Documentation/process/howto: Mark subsection in suggested format
`Specific guidelines for the kernel documentation` section of
`kernel-documentation.rst` suggests to use ``~`` for subsection but
subsections in HOWTO is not marked in the format.  This commit marks
them in the format.

9d2cccdd6c Merge branch 'doc-tweaks' into docs-next
The creation of the admin and process guides is a great thing, but, without
care, we risk replacing a messy docs directory with a few messy Sphinx
books.  In an attempt to head that off and show what I'm thinking, here's a
set of tweaks that, I think, make the existing Sphinx-formatted docs a bit
more accessible.

67972a539e docs: Add a warning to applying-patches.rst
This is ancient stuff and we don't do things this way anymore.  In the
absence of simply deleting the document, at least add a warning to it.

89edeedd61 docs: Tweak submitting-patches.rst formatting
The main goal here was to get the subsections to show in the TOC as they do
for all the other documents.  Also call out the DCO in the section title
since it's important.

186128f753 docs-rst: add documents to development-process
Add several documents to the development-process ReST book.

As we don't want renames, use symlinks instead, keeping those
documents on their original place.
