Jonathan Corbet af25029043 docs: kernel-doc: Don't mangle literal code blocks in comments
It can be useful to put code snippets into kerneldoc comments; that can be
done with the "::" operator at the end of a line like this::

   if (desperate)
       run_in_circles();

The ".. code-block::" directive can also be used to this end.  kernel-doc
currently fails to understand these literal blocks and applies its normal
markup to them, which is then treated as literal by sphinx.  The result is
unsightly markup instead of a useful code snippet.

Apply a hack to the output code to recognize literal blocks and avoid
performing any special markup on them.  It's ugly, but that means it fits
in well with the rest of the script.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
