This two-patch series is a bare beginning of a project to reorganize the Documentation directory somewhat; it's a toe in the water to see how many sharks chomp at it. The top-level Documentation/ directory, despite the efforts of the last few years, is still a mess; there is too much stuff there, making it harder to find anything. We do not organize our source directories that way, and for good reasons. To bring the docs closer to the source organization, create a directory Documentation/arch and move the x86 docs there, updating all of the internal references that are broken by the move. The appearance of the rendered documentation does not change. I've deliberately not changed any overly long lines generated to keep the diff easy to read; that can be fixed up later if warranted. I can also break the second patch up if maintainers want to handle pieces of it separately. I think this move is worthwhile (for the other arches too) because it will make our documentation better organized in a way that matches the source and easier to navigate. It will also make easier to experiment with tools like intersphinx. On the other hand, it *is* a fair amount of churn. If it's more than people can handle, I'll quietly back away and we'll muddle along as we have been; this isn't something I'm going to dig in my heels over. Also, it is worth noting that, while the rendered HTML looks the same, links that went to Documentation/x86 (on https://kernel.org, say) will be broken by this change. We have never considered whether we care about preserving external links to the rendered docs on kernel.org or not; I don't think we should break them without thinking about it. Thoughts?
