a57c3522e8 docs: basics.rst: avoid duplicated C function declaration
pci_device_id is already documented at pci.rst:

	./Documentation/driver-api/basics.rst: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'PCI/pci'.
	Declaration is 'pci_device_id'.

The kstrtol and kstrtoul are already at kernel-api:

	./Documentation/driver-api/basics.rst: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'core-api/kernel-api'.
	Declaration is 'kstrtoul'.
	./Documentation/driver-api/basics.rst: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'core-api/kernel-api'.
	Declaration is 'kstrtol'.

And the printk is already defined at printk-basics:

	./Documentation/driver-api/basics.rst: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'core-api/printk-basics'.
	Declaration is 'printk'.

So, exclude those identifiers from basirs.rst.

044248db5d docs: basics.rst: get rid of rcu kernel-doc macros
Those are already defined at kernel-api.rst, as part of the
synchronization primitives chapter.

This solves several Sphinx 3 warnings, like:

	.../Documentation/driver-api/basics.rst: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'core-api/kernel-api'.
	Declaration is 'rcu_idle_enter'.
	.../Documentation/driver-api/basics.rst: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'core-api/kernel-api'.
	Declaration is 'rcu_idle_exit'.
	.../Documentation/driver-api/basics.rst: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'core-api/kernel-api'.
	Declaration is 'rcu_is_watching'.
	.../Documentation/driver-api/basics.rst: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'core-api/kernel-api'.
	Declaration is 'call_rcu'.
	.../Documentation/driver-api/basics.rst: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined in 'core-api/kernel-api'.
	Declaration is 'synchronize_rcu'.
	...

c9e3d519ee docs: basics.rst: move kernel-doc workqueue markups to workqueue.rst
As there's already a rst file with workqueue markups, containing
part of them, move the other definitions, in order to avoid
warnings with Sphinx.

There are no kerneldoc comments in this file, so do not attempt to
include them in the docs build.

84253c8be3 docs: Introduce deprecated APIs list
As discussed in the "API replacement/deprecation" thread[1], this makes
an effort to document what things shouldn't get (re)added to the kernel,
by introducing Documentation/process/deprecated.rst.

b6e859f6cd docs: refcount_t documentation
Some functions from refcount_t API provide different
memory ordering guarantees that their atomic counterparts.
This adds a document outlining these differences (
Documentation/core-api/refcount-vs-atomic.rst) as well as
some other minor improvements.

b18b12ae60 docs: Do not include kerneldoc comments from kernel/sys.c
...because there are none there, and I cannot figure out what would ever
have been of interest there.  This eliminates this warning:

    ./kernel/sys.c:1: warning: no structured comments found

from the build.

127d4b3764 docs: Get module_init() docs from module.h
The docs build complains:

    ./include/linux/init.h:1: warning: no structured comments found

The problem is that the comments in question were moved to module.h in
commit 0fd972a7d9 (module: relocate module_init from init.h to
module.h).  Fix basics.rst to match.

ecebcd4da6 docs: Do not include from kernel/rcu/srcu.c
That file went away with commit bd8cc5a062 (srcu: Remove Classic SRCU)
during the 4.13 merge window, leading to errors like:

  Error: Cannot open file ./kernel/rcu/srcu.c

during the docs build.

dcec3c8c9a docs: split up the driver book
We don't need to keep it as a single large file anymore; split it up so
that it is easier to manage and the individual sections can be read
directly as plain files.
