Jonathan Corbet 8a8a602fdb docs: Convert the deviceio template to RST
Convert deviceiobook.tmpl to RST and incorporate it into the driver API
manual.

Like the rest of our documentation, this one could use some work.  There's
no mention of ioremap() and friends, no mention of io_read*() and friends.
But we have nice documentation for all those folks writing new drivers that
do port I/O :).

The :c:func: notation has been left off of all the read*/write* functions.
There's no kerneldoc comments for them anyway, so those links will never be
live, and writing a bunch of repetitive "read a byte from I/O memory"
comments lacks appeal.

========================================
The Linux driver implementer's API guide
========================================
The kernel offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development
of device drivers. This document is an only somewhat organized collection
of some of those interfaces — it will hopefully get better over time! The
available subsections can be seen below.
