[PATCH 1/5] Documentation: add Linux Kernel Development book

[Luis de Bethencourt]

The Linux Kernel Development book by Robert Love has been recommended to me
by multiple kernel hackers. Worth having in the list of books in
kernel-docs.txt for newbies looking for good learning resources.

Hi,

I really enjoyed this book and I think it deserves being listed in the
kernel-docs.txt list.

Thanks,
Luis

Hi,

I separated the docs URL updates into individual commits so they can easily
be cherry-picked. I am happy to squash them all into one if you think it is
better.

Thanks :)

But that's a different work, I don't think it makes sense to just
substitute in the URL.  It would be better, I think, to turn this into an
entry for the KHG if we really want that.

Thanks,

I tried here and it works, but maybe it is flacky and it isn't permanently
available.

Dropping the patch if that is the case.
