So my purpose today was to go ahead and apply these patches, but ...

...even if I do that I get warnings:

  Documentation/translations/zh_CN/process/howto.rst:98: WARNING:
  undefined label: submittingdrivers (if the link has no caption the
  label must precede a section header)

it's actually better if I apply the full series, but there's still a few
of them.  I *really* don't want to add more warnings to the docs build,
so I've backed off for now.

Alex, can you fix the remaining references in zh_CN?

For zh_TW I'm wondering ... that is increasingly looking like an
unmaintained drive-by submission.  I suppose we can just brute-force
remove the references, but I once again find myself wondering about the
value of this translation.  Is there anybody out there who cares about
it who could fix this up properly?

Thanks,

jon
