[PATCH] docs: rework the driver-api top-level page

[Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>]

Add subsections in an attempt to bring a bit order to this page; also sort
most subsections into alphabetical order.  With luck all this will help to
prevent merge conflicts on this page due to everybody adding entries at the
end.
