[PATCH] docs: Extend and refactor index of further kernel docs

[Carlos Bilbao]

Extend the Index of Further Kernel Documentation by adding entries for the
Rust for Linux website, the Linux Foundation's YouTube channel, and notes
on the second edition of Billimoria's kernel programming book. Also,
perform some refactoring: format the text to 75 characters per line and
sort per-section content in chronological order of publication.

So I was going to apply this but ... it doesn't apply.  It looks like
some sort of weird whitespace damage?

Apologies for the inconvenience. I found the issue so this should not
happen in future patches. Replying with the fixed patch now.

So I still am unable to apply this.  There is some sort of whitespace
damage, perhaps some sort of non-breaking spaces?

The 2 lines above should be on one line, but fixing that doesn't fix everything.
'patch' still says that it's a malformed patch.

Carlos, please check Documentation/process/email-clients.rst section on
Thunderbird, especially for line length and line wrap.

I'm still looking...

I don't know what is causing it, but there are a bunch of non-ASCII characters
in the patch file. Specifically 0xc2 at the beginning of many lines. E.g., when
I copy/paste only the "Index of Further" & ===== lines into a small text file:

Ah, C2 A0 is a non-break space. My guess is that Thunderbird
is doing something here.

I followed the instructions for Thunderbird but atm I'm tired of trying to
make it work. I'll just go back to using 'git send-email' for patches. I'm
resending this patch like that.

[PATCH] docs: Extend and refactor index of further kernel docs

[Carlos Bilbao]

From: Carlos Bilbao <bilbao@vt.edu>

Extend the Index of Further Kernel Documentation by adding entries for the
Rust for Linux website, the Linux Foundation's YouTube channel, and notes
on the second edition of Billimoria's kernel programming book. Also,
perform some refactoring: format the text to 75 characters per line and
sort per-section content in chronological order of publication.
