[PATCH 00/14] Add support to generate ABI documentation at admin-guide

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>]

Greg,

As promised, I'm resending the patch series with adds the Kernel ABI to
Documentation/admin-guide.

Those patches are basically the version 3 patchset I sent back in 2017,
rebased on the top of linux-next (next-20190613), and with some fixes
in order for it to work.

- The 4 initial patches to fix some ABI descriptions that are violating 
  the syntax described at Documentation/ABI/README;

- The next 6 patches are the ones originally written in 2017 with a
  script with parses the ABI files;

- The 11th patch is a new one: it relaxes a little bit the parser in 
  order to parse file headers that contains colons on it;

- The 12th patch adds the new script to the documentation build
  system, together with a new python Sphinx extension with calls it;

- The 13th patch fixes the python script when running with newer
  Sphinx versions (1.7 and upper);

- The final patch fixes an UTF-8 trouble. I noticed it only with Sphinx
  1.4, but it could affect other versions too. So, I ended by changing
  the UTF-8 encoding logit to work version-independent, just like
  what happens with kerneldoc.py extension.
