There are a lot of RAS topic to document, and there are a lot of details for each topic. Prep for this by adding an index for the RAS directory. This will provide a top-level document and table of contents. It also provides the option to build the RAS directory individually using "make SPHINXDIRS=". Start a section on address translation. This will be expanded with details for future translation methods and how they're used in the kernel. Move the error decoding topic to its own section. Links to other error decoding kernel docs will be added.

The Linux Kernel documentation
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
This is the top level of the kernel's documentation tree. Kernel
|
|
documentation, like the kernel itself, is very much a work in progress;
|
|
that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered
|
|
documents into a coherent whole. Please note that improvements to the
|
|
documentation are welcome; join the linux-doc list at vger.kernel.org if
|
|
you want to help out.
|
|
|
|
Working with the development community
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
The essential guides for interacting with the kernel's development
|
|
community and getting your work upstream.

User-oriented documentation
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
The following manuals are written for *users* of the kernel — those who are
|
|
trying to get it to work optimally on a given system and application
|
|
developers seeking information on the kernel's user-space APIs.

See also: the `Linux man pages <https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/>`_,
|
|
which are kept separately from the kernel's own documentation.
|
|
|
|
Firmware-related documentation
|
|

|
The following holds information on the kernel's expectations regarding the
|

platform firmwares.

Other documentation
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
There are several unsorted documents that don't seem to fit on other parts
|
|
of the documentation body, or may require some adjustments and/or conversion
|
|
to ReStructured Text format, or are simply too old.
