Thanks for doing this; can I add a few comments?

- Ccing the docs maintainer is considered good form with documentation
  patches :)  That's especially true of anything touching index.rst, which
  has become a bit of a conflict point.

- On a quick read, the conversion of workqueue.txt seems good.

- I don't like the "misc" thing, though.

As we convert the documentation over, we want to impose a bit more
organization on it, both in the documentation structure and in the
filesystem structure.  That means moving a lot of the stuff out of the
top-level Documentation/ directory, which is an unmanageable mess at the
moment.  So one thing I would really rather not see is people creating
index.rst files with "../" in them.  The file hierarchy should match the
document hierarchy.

For 4.9 we created the driver-api manual for stuff that's clearly
driver-specific.  My thinking had been to make a core-api equivalent for
stuff that's relevant outside of the driver code; workqueue.txt clearly
qualifies there.

So I guess what I'd like to see is something very similar to what you've
done, but can we start the core-api manual, and put the RST file as
core-api/workqueue.rst?  The core-api manual itself doesn't really need to
be any more than what you did for misc/ at this point.

That done, if it's OK with you, Tejun, I'd prefer to take it through the
docs tree with your ack so I don't have to write yet another note to Linus
explaining the index.rst conflicts...

Sound OK?

Thanks,

jon
