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>

docs: infrastructure.rst: exclude device_link_state from device.h This is already documented at device_link.rst, causing this warning, due to a broken cross-reference: .../Documentation/driver-api/device_link.rst: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'driver-api/infrastructure'. Declaration is 'device_link_state'. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

driver core: add a faux bus for use when a simple device/bus is needed Many drivers abuse the platform driver/bus system as it provides a simple way to create and bind a device to a driver-specific set of probe/release functions. Instead of doing that, and wasting all of the memory associated with a platform device, here is a "faux" bus that can be used instead.

dma-mapping: move all DMA mapping code to kernel/dma Currently the code is split over various files with dma- prefixes in the lib/ and drives/base directories, and the number of files keeps growing. Move them into a single directory to keep the code together and remove the file name prefixes. To match the irq infrastructure this directory is placed under the kernel/ directory.
