Documentation/core-api/index.rst
This is the beginning of a manual for core kernel APIs. The conversion (and writing!) of documents for this manual is much appreciated!
This section has general and "core core" documentation. The first is a massive grab-bag of kerneldoc info left over from the docbook days; it should really be broken up someday when somebody finds the energy to do it.
