I'm not really a fan of adding more top-level directories; one of these
years I'd like to try to move things in the opposite direction.  That is
a battle for another day, though; for now let's just go with this and
get the document merged.

That said, I suspect you'll add a build warning about the new document
not being included in any toctree.  Fixing that would involve adding a
basic index.rst to the new directory and adding that to a file like
Documentation/subsystem-apis.rst.

Thanks,
