docs: driver-model: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst Convert the various documents at the driver-model, preparing them to be part of the driver-api book. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

driver-core: improve driver binding documentation The driver binding documentation (still) mentions that "When a driver is attached to a device, the device is inserted into the driver's list of devices.". While it is true that the driver-core keeps track of all the devices that are attached to a driver, this is purely for internal purposes (i.e. it is an implementation detail) and has no relevance for user facing documentation. In fact, it is even misleading, since it could be read as if it were valid for driver implementations to keep track of all the devices bound to it. Instead, drivers operate on a per-device basis, with a separate per-device instance created when the driver is bound to a device. Hence, remove the mention of a driver's list of devices and instead add some documentation of the relationship between drivers and devices.
