Makes sense.

Well, right now, it is at the same level as core-api, just below it:

	Kernel API documentation
	------------------------

	These books get into the details of how specific kernel subsystems work
	from the point of view of a kernel developer.  Much of the information here
	is taken directly from the kernel source, with supplemental material added
	as needed (or at least as we managed to add it — probably *not* all that is
	needed).
	
	.. toctree::
	   :maxdepth: 2
	
	   driver-api/index
	   core-api/index
	   locking/index

Not too bad.

Btw, there are other doc sets that could also fit into the core-api, like:

	...
	   accounting/index
	...
	   security/index
	...
	   bpf/index
	...
	   scheduler/index

while most of the rest should likely be inside driver-api.

Some care should be taken when moving stuff, though: there is a
reason why they weren't moved to driver-api in the first place:
they may contain stuff for the admin guide mixed there.

Thanks,
Mauro
