(1) git remote add l1k https://github.com/l1k/linux.git
    git fetch l1k
    git checkout l1k/sphinx-docs
    (Alternatively: git cherry-pick v4.7-rc6..l1k/sphinx-docs )

(2) sudo apt-get install python-sphinx python-sphinx-rtd-theme

(3) make xmldocs
    make htmldocs

(4) open Documentation/output/html/index.html
    click on "VGA Switcheroo", then click on "Handlers" in the
    navigation pane on the left

The apple-gmux docs are currently asciidoc-formatted. Support for
markdown/asciidoc in kerneldoc was an Intel-sponsored effort last year
led by Daniel, but never got upstreamed.

After some deliberation the decision was made to use rst instead.
Support for it is in docs-next, i.e. will be in 4.8.

Jani has converted the gpu docs to rst and deleted the gpu.tmpl,
this is on the drm-intel/for-linux-next branch but not yet in drm-next.
Jani and Daniel are both on vacation. Daniel has indicated that he
considers sending another drm-intel-next pull when he returns next week,
then the rst-formatted gpu docs would land in drm-next:

It is not dependent on someone else. You can either merge it directly
through your tree or alternatively ack it and have it merged through
drm-intel trees by Daniel (+ cc:) next week.


Unfortunately there is currently no branch which contains all the rst
patches in docs-next *and* the rst-formatted gpu docs in drm-intel.
(Some patches in docs-next are missing from drm-intel/for-linux-next.)
That's why I pushed the above-mentioned branch to my GitHub repo,
it contains everything needed:
https://github.com/l1k/linux/commits/sphinx-docs

Thanks,

Lukas
