Implements the reST flat-table directive.
The ``flat-table`` is a double-stage list similar to the ``list-table`` with
some additional features:
* column-span: with the role ``cspan`` a cell can be extended through
additional columns
* row-span: with the role ``rspan`` a cell can be extended through
additional rows
* auto span rightmost cell of a table row over the missing cells on the right
side of that table-row. With Option ``:fill-cells:`` this behavior can
changed from *auto span* to *auto fill*, which automaticly inserts (empty)
list tables
The *list tables* formats are double stage lists. Compared to the
ASCII-art they migth be less comfortable for readers of the
text-files. Their advantage is, that they are easy to create/modify
and that the diff of a modification is much more meaningfull, because
it is limited to the modified content.
The initial implementation was taken from the sphkerneldoc project [1]

I update kernel to the latest mainline version and RAID5 array

1) set stripe_cache_size to 16

2) read the default value of stripe_cache_size

256
I read drivers/md/raid5.c and find the following related code:
1) in function 'raid5_set_cache_size':
if (size <= 16 || size > 32768)
return -EINVAL;
2) #define NR_STRIPES 256

Let the user specify file patterns where to look for the EXPORT_SYMBOLs
in addition to the file with kernel-doc comments. This is directly based
on the -export-file FILE option added to kernel-doc in "kernel-doc: add
support for specifying extra files for EXPORT_SYMBOLs", but we extend
that with globbing patterns in the Sphinx extension.
The file patterns are added as options to the :export: and :internal:
arguments of the kernel-doc directive. For example, to extract the
documentation of exported functions from include/net/mac80211.h:
.. kernel-doc:: include/net/mac80211.h
:export: net/mac80211/*.c
Without the file pattern, no exported functions would be found, as the
EXPORT_SYMBOLs are placed in the various source files under
net/mac80211.
The matched files are also added as dependencies on the document in
Sphinx, as they may affect the output. This is one of the reasons to do
the globbing in the Sphinx extension instead of in scripts/kernel-doc.
The file pattern remains optional, and is not needed if the kernel-doc
comments and EXPORT_SYMBOLs are placed in the source file passed in as
the main argument to the kernel-doc directive. This is the most common
case across the kernel source tree.

Jani Nikula says:
Jon, this is v2 of [1] and [2], with a considerable amount of polish and
fixes added. We started dogfooding this within drm-intel, and Daniel has
reviewed the lot and contributed a number of fixes, most notably
accurate file and line number references from Sphinx build
errors/warnings to the kernel-doc comments in source code.
We believe this is now in good shape for merging for v4.8. It's all in
my sphinx-for-docs-next branch that you've already looked at; pull
details below.
When this lands in docs-next and we can backmerge to drm, we'll plunge
ahead and convert gpu.tmpl to rst, and have that ready for v4.8. We
think it's best to contribute that via the drm tree, as it'll involve
splitting up the documentation and likely numerous updates to kernel-doc
comments.
I plan to update Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt for Sphinx and
rst, obviously converting it to rst while at it.
Design is pretty simple: kernel-doc inserts breadcrumbs with line
numbers, and sphinx picks them up. At first I went with a sphinx
comment, but inserting those at random places seriously upsets the
parser, and must be filtered. Hence why this version now uses "#define
LINEO " since one of these ever escape into output it's pretty clear
there is a bug.
It seems to work well, and at least the 2-3 errors where sphinx
complained about something that was not correct in kernel-doc text the
line numbers matched up perfectly.
v2: Instead of noodling around in the parser state machine, create
a ViewList and parse it ourselves. This seems to be the recommended
way, per Jani's suggestion.
v3:
- Split out ViewList pach. Splitting the kernel-doc changes from the
sphinx ones isn't possible, since emitting the LINENO lines wreaks
havoc with the rst formatting. We must filter them.
- Improve the regex per Jani's suggestions, and compile it just once
for speed.
- Now that LINENO lines are eaten, also add them to function parameter
descriptions. Much less content and offset than for in-line struct
member descriptions, but still nice to know which exact continuation
line upsets sphinx.
- Simplify/clarify the line +/-1 business a bit.
v4: Split out the scripts/kernel-doc changes and make line-numbers
opt-in, as suggested by Jani.

Tell Sphinx where to find the extension, and pass on the kernel src tree
and kernel-doc paths to the extension.
With this, any .rst files under Documentation may contain the kernel-doc
rst directive to include kernel-doc documentation from any source file.
While building, it may be handy to pass kernel-doc extension
configuration on the command line. For example, 'make SPHINXOPTS="-D
kerneldoc_verbosity=0" htmldocs' silences all stderr output from
kernel-doc when the kernel-doc exit code is 0. (The stderr will be
logged unconditionally when the exit code is non-zero.)

Add an extension to handle kernel-doc directives, to call kernel-doc
according to the arguments and parameters given to the reStructuredText
directive.
The syntax for the kernel-doc directive is:
.. kernel-doc:: FILENAME
:export:
:internal:
:functions: FUNCTION [FUNCTION ...]
:doc: SECTION TITLE
Of the directive options export, internal, functions, and doc, currently
only one option may be given at a time.
The FILENAME is relative from the kernel source tree root.
The extension notifies Sphinx about the document dependency on FILENAME,
causing the document to be rebuilt when the file has been changed.

Add basic configuration and makefile to build documentation from any
.rst files under Documentation using Sphinx. For starters, there's just
the placeholder index.rst.
At the top level Makefile, hook Sphinx documentation targets alongside
(but independent of) the DocBook toolchain, having both be run on the
various 'make *docs' targets.
All Sphinx processing is placed into Documentation/Makefile.sphinx. Both
that and the Documentation/DocBook/Makefile are now expected to handle
all the documentation targets, explicitly ignoring them if they're not
relevant for that particular toolchain. The changes to the existing
DocBook Makefile are kept minimal.
There is graceful handling of missing Sphinx and rst2pdf (which is
needed for pdf output) by checking for the tool and python module,
respectively, with informative messages to the user.
If the Read the Docs theme (sphinx_rtd_theme) is available, use it, but
otherwise gracefully fall back to the Sphinx default theme, with an
informative message to the user, and slightly less pretty HTML output.
Sphinx can now handle htmldocs, pdfdocs (if rst2pdf is available),
epubdocs and xmldocs targets. The output documents are written into per
output type subdirectories under Documentation/output.
Finally, you can pass options to sphinx-build using the SPHINXBUILD make
variable. For example, 'make SPHINXOPTS=-v htmldocs' for more verbose
output from Sphinx.
This is based on the original work by Jonathan Corbet, but he probably
wouldn't recognize this as his own anymore.

- Dynamic counter infrastructure in the IB drivers
This is a sysfs based code to allow free form access to the

- SendOnlyFullMember multicast support
- IB router support
- A couple misc fixes
- The big item on the list: hfi1 driver updates, plus moving the hfi1
driver out of staging
There was a group of 15 patches in the hfi1 list that I thought I had
in the first pull request but they weren't. So that added to the
length of the hfi1 section here.
As far as these go, everything but the hfi1 is pretty straight
forward.
The hfi1 is, if you recall, the driver that Al had complaints about
how it used the write/writev interfaces in an overloaded fashion. The
write portion of their interface behaved like the write handler in the
IB stack proper and did bi-directional communications. The writev
interface, on the other hand, only accepts SDMA request structures.
The completions for those structures are sent back via an entirely
different event mechanism.
With the security patch, we put security checks on the write
interface, however, we also knew they would be going away soon. Now,
we've converted the write handler in the hfi1 driver to use ioctls
from the IB reserved magic area for its bidirectional communications.
With that change, Intel has addressed all of the items originally on
their TODO when they went into staging (as well as many items added to
the list later).
As such, I moved them out, and since they were the last item in the
staging/rdma directory, and I don't have immediate plans to use the
staging area again, I removed the staging/rdma area.
Because of the move out of staging, as well as a series of 5 patches
in the hfi1 driver that removed code people thought should be done in
a different way and was optional to begin with (a snoop debug
interface, an eeprom driver for an eeprom connected directory to their
hfi1 chip and not via an i2c bus, and a few other things like that),
the line count, especially the removal count, is high"

Here is the quote from [1]:
The unit-address must match the first address specified
in the reg property of the node. If the node has no reg property,
the @ and unit-address must be omitted and the node-name alone
differentiates the node from other nodes at the same level
This patch adjusts MIPS dts-files and devicetree binding
documentation in accordance with [1].
