Probably best to pull this in through drm-misc, which contains docs-next
plus the skeleton conversion of the drm docs over to sphinx/rst. Darren,
ack on that?

Oh and if you want to take a peek at the pretty docs this gives us:

https://01.org/linuxgraphics/gfx-docs/drm/

This is just the drm part, but if you pull in docs-next there should be
even more. Media/tv might also be ready for 4.8.
