Documenting the kernel-user-space ABI

["Michael Kerrisk (man-pages)" <mtk.manpages-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Hi Mike,

You raised a question at the bottom of a bug report
(https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70801#c4)
that I though might better go to the list, since I 
think it merits some wider discussion:

    i'd like to have a master location to document all 
    this stuff at the kernel ABI level.  can we do that 
    with the man-pages project somehow without violating 
    the C library API tenet?

First though, I'd like to check: what do you mean by "all this stuff"? 
Am I correct to understand your question as something like:

    Can man-pages become a place where the kernel-user-space ABI 
    (as distinct from the glibc wrappers on top) is consistently 
    and thoroughly documented?

?

Cheers,

Michael
