It is probably fine to stare at them here
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ and the end result is good
for showing them in browsers but after this conversion, it is
getting more and more painful to work with those files. For example,
Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt we use a lot. I'd hate it if I had to go
sort out rest muck first just so that I can read it.

I think we can simply leave some text files be text files and be done
with it.
