Linus Torvalds b1cce98493 It has been a relatively busy cycle for docs, especially the build system:
- The Perl kernel-doc script was added to 2.3.52pre1 just after the turn of
   the millennium.  Over the following 25 years, it accumulated a vast
   amount of cruft, all in a language few people want to deal with anymore.
   Mauro's Python replacement in 6.16 faithfully reproduced all of the cruft
   in the hope of avoiding regressions.  Now that we have a more reasonable
   code base, though, we can work on cleaning it up; many of the changes
   this time around are toward that end.
 
 - A reorganization of the ext4 docs into the usual TOC format.
 
 - Various Chinese translations and updates.
 
 - A new script from Mauro to help with docs-build testing.
 
 - A new document for linked lists
 
 - A sweep through MAINTAINERS fixing broken GitHub git:// repository links.
 
 ...and lots of fixes and updates.
