I've developed a fairly strong preference for carrying patches touching
index.rst; otherwise I spend a lot of time explaining merge conflicts to
Linus.

If the consensus is that this is ready to go, I expect I can squeeze it in
for 4.11.  I'm not too worried about regressions...:)

I haven't actually built it yet, but from a first look it seems like an
awfully good start.  The one thing that comes to mind is that I'm likely
to want to move it at some point.  I'd really like to start a separate
book for user-space developer documentation, and this would certainly
belong there.  That book doesn't exist yet, though, so I can't quite blame
you, hard as I might try, for not putting this document there.

Thanks,
