Hello,
while reading the documentation on the Linux kernel watchdog
subsystem[1] I noticed some strange looking formatting: `struct`s are
detected automatically by Sphinx and the word **after** it is considered
the name of the structure, but the watchdog documentation puts the name
**before** the word `struct`; this leads to the wrong word being
emphasized.
Also reorganize the index page to better separate the documentation on
generic infrastructure from specific drivers – which are mostly obsolete
and relevant for historic documentation only.
Please apply; thank you for all your work.
Philipp
