Merge tag 'docs-for-linus' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull Documentation updates from Jon Corbet:
 "A bit busier this time around.

  The most interesting thing (IMO) this time around is some beginning
  infrastructural work to allow documents to be written using
  restructured text.  Maybe someday, in a galaxy far far away, we'll be
  able to eliminate the DocBook dependency and have a much better
  integrated set of kernel docs.  Someday.

  Beyond that, there's a new document on security hardening from Kees,
  the movement of some sample code over to samples/, a number of
  improvements to the serial docs from Geert, and the usual collection
  of corrections, typo fixes, etc"
