David Hildenbrand 20e22127c9 Documentation/admin-guide/mm/pagemap.rst: drop "Using pagemap to do something useful"
That example was added in 2008.  In 2015, we restricted access to the PFNs
in the pagemap to CAP_SYS_ADMIN, making that approach quite less usable.

It's 2024 now, and using that racy and low-lewel mechanism to calculate
the USS should not be considered a good example anymore.  /proc/$pid/smaps
and /proc/$pid/smaps_rollup can do a much better job without any of that
low-level handling.

Let's just drop that example.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
