JFYI,

bpf_devel_QA is listed under the toctree directive in Documentation/bpf/faq.rst.

If you failed to enlist a new .rst file in a toctree somewhere, you would see
a complaint from "make htmldocs", in this case:

  Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst: WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree

        Thanks, Akira
