011f129fee Documentation: xfs: consolidate XFS docs into its own subdirectory
XFS docs are currently in upper-level Documentation/filesystems.
Although these are currently 4 docs, they are already outstanding as
a group and can be moved to its own subdirectory.

Consolidate them into Documentation/filesystems/xfs/.

ed843ae947 docs: move riscv under arch
and fix all in-tree references.

Architecture-specific documentation is being moved into Documentation/arch/
as a way of cleaning up the top-level documentation directory and making
the docs hierarchy more closely match the source hierarchy.

19e13b0a6d docs: add maintainer entry profile for XFS
Create a new document to list what I think are (within the scope of XFS)
our shared goals and community roles.  Since I will be stepping down
shortly, I feel it's important to write down somewhere all the hats that
I have been wearing for the past six years.

Also, document important extra details about how to contribute to XFS.

f621eb13fa vfio-pci: Provide reviewers and acceptance criteria for variant drivers
Device specific extensions for devices exposed to userspace through
the vfio-pci-core library open both new functionality and new risks.
Here we attempt to provided formalized requirements and expectations
to ensure that future drivers both collaborate in their interaction
with existing host drivers, as well as receive additional reviews
from community members with experience in this area.

003ad49f74 Documentation: add riscv entry in list of existing profiles
As long as there are only a few maintainer entry profiles, i.e., three
in v5.8, continue to maintain a complete a list of entries in the
maintainer handbook.

Complete the list by adding the RISC-V ARCHITECTURE maintainer entry
profile found in MAINTAINERS.

4699c504e6 Maintainer Handbook: Maintainer Entry Profile
As presented at the 2018 Linux Plumbers conference [1], the Maintainer
Entry Profile (formerly Subsystem Profile) is proposed as a way to reduce
friction between committers and maintainers and encourage conversations
amongst maintainers about common best practices. While coding-style,
submit-checklist, and submitting-drivers lay out some common expectations
there remain local customs and maintainer preferences that vary by
subsystem.

The profile contains documentation of some of the common policy
questions a contributor might have that are local to the subsystem /
device-driver, special considerations for the subsystem, or other
guidelines that are otherwise not covered by the top-level process
documents.

The initial and hopefully non-controversial headings in the profile are:

    Overview:
    General introduction to how the subsystem operates

    Submit Checklist Addendum:
    Mechanical items that gate submission staging, or other requirements
    that gate patch acceptance.

    Key Cycle Dates:
     - Last -rc for new feature submissions: Expected lead time for submissions
     - Last -rc to merge features: Deadline for merge decisions

    Resubmit Cadence: When and preferred method to follow up with the
    maintainer

Note that coding style guidelines are explicitly left out of this list.

See Documentation/maintainer/maintainer-entry-profile.rst for more details,
and a follow-on example profile for the libnvdimm subsystem.
