Buffer heads are no longer a generic filesystem API but an optional
filesystem support library.  Make the documentation structure reflect
that, and include the fine documentation kept in buffer_head.h.  We could
give a better overview of what buffer heads are all about, but my
enthusiasm for documenting it is limited.
