docbook: split kernel-api for device-drivers
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The kernel-api docbook was much larger than any of the others,
so processing it took longer and needed some docbook extras in
some cases, so split it into kernel-api (infrastructure etc.)
and device drivers/device subsystems.  This allows these docbooks
to be generated in parallel.  (This reduced the docbook processing
time on my 4-proc system with make -j4 from about 5min:16sec to
about 2min:01sec.)

The chapters that were moved from kernel-api to device-drivers are:

Driver Basics
Device drivers infrastructure
Parallel Port Devices
Message-based devices
Sound Devices
16x50 UART Driver
Frame Buffer Library
Input Subsystem
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
I2C and SMBus Subsystem
