Linus Torvalds 72c395024d A slightly calmer cycle for docs this time around, though there is still a
fair amount going on, including:
 
 - Some signs of life on the long-moribund Japanese translation
 
 - Documentation on policies around the use of generative tools for patch
   submissions, and a separate document intended for consumption by
   generative tools.
 
 - The completion of the move of the documentation tools to tools/docs.  For
   now we're leaving a /scripts/kernel-doc symlink behind to avoid breaking
   scripts.
 
 - Ongoing build-system work includes the incorporation of documentation in
   Python code, better support for documenting variables, and lots of
   improvements and fixes.
 
 - Automatic linking of man-page references -- cat(1), for example -- to
   the online pages in the HTML build.
 
 ...and the usual array of typo fixes and such.
