Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Add documentation for Documentation/features at the built docs

Hi Jon,

This series got already submitted last year:

   https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email-masked]/

Yet, on that time, there were too many other patches related to ReST
conversion floating around. So, at the end, I guess this one got missed.

So, I did a rebase on the top of upstream, and added a few new changes.

Patch 1 contains the original implementation back then. It adds a
get_feat.pl script that parses the contents of Documentation/features.

Patch 2 is new: it re-implements the output of the full contents of the
features table as a set of per-subsystem tables. 

Patch 3 replaces the existing Documentation/features/list-arch.sh
by a call to the new script, in order to avoid having two scripts
doing the same thing.

Patch 4 is a sphinx extension to allow generating features output
via a meta-tag.

Patch 5 adds a complete feature list covering all archs at the
admin guide.

Patch 6 adds a per-arch feature list on each architecture book.

-

The scripts/get_feat.pl supports several types of output:

- $ scripts/get_feat.pl current

  Outputs the supported feadures by the architecture of the
  running Kernel, as an ASCII table;

- $  scripts/get_feat.pl list

  Outputs the supported features on an easy to be parsed
  format. By default, it uses the current architecture as well;

- $  scripts/get_feat.pl rest --feature jump-labels

  Output what architecture supports a given feature
  (on the above example, "jump-labels" feature)

- $ scripts/get_feat.pl rest --arch um

  Outputs the features support for an specific architecture
  (on the above example, for "um" architecture.

- $ scripts/get_feat.pl rest

  Outputs a text file with ASCII tables (ReST compatible)
  with all features, grouped per subsystem.

  E. g. something like:
	
        ===================================
        Feature status on all architectures
        ===================================
        
        Subsystem: core

Adding those patchsets will basically place the contents of all
files under Documentation/features (currently, 45 files) at the
Kernel documentation, which is, IMO, a good thing to do.

Mauro
