How would people feel about converting libdrm man pages to rst, and
using rst2man in the build? We did that for igt man pages [1]. Looking
at the diff, I think it's plain to see how that could lower the bar for
contributing. And perhaps it would be easier to refactor and move
documentation around too.

I forget, I probably used pandoc or something to do the bulk of the igt
conversion, and added some manual polish on top. I'm not volunteering
for the libdrm man page conversion though. ;)

BR,
Jani.
