Portrait is too small for some tables used at the media docs.
So, allow documents to tell Sphinx to generate some pages
in landscape by using:
.. raw:: latex
\begin{landscape}
<some stuff>
.. raw:: latex
\end{landscape}

Add a generic way to build only a reST sub-folder with or
without a individual *build-theme*.
* control *sub-folders* by environment SPHINXDIRS
* control *build-theme* by environment SPHINX_CONF
Folders with a conf.py file, matching $(srctree)/Documentation/*/conf.py
can be build and distributed *stand-alone*. E.g. to compile only the
html of 'media' and 'gpu' folder use::
make SPHINXDIRS="media gpu" htmldocs
To use an additional sphinx-build configuration (*build-theme*) set the
name of the configuration file to SPHINX_CONF. E.g. to compile only the
html of 'media' with the *nit-picking* build use::
make SPHINXDIRS=media SPHINX_CONF=conf_nitpick.py htmldocs
With this, the Documentation/conf.py is read first and updated with the
configuration values from the Documentation/media/conf_nitpick.py.

Although pdflatex is more robust than rst2pdf, building media
documentation pdf still fails. Exclude media documentation from pdf
generation for now.

This should eliminate a whole class of markup warnings, at the cost of

The rst2pdf tool is a very broken toolchain, with is not capable
of parsing complex documents. As such, it doesn't build the
media book, failing with:
[ERROR] pdfbuilder.py:130 too many values to unpack
(using rst2pdf version 0.93.dev-r0 and Sphinx version 1.4.5)
So, make it build only the books we know that are safe to build.

Btw, with the standard Sphinx version shipped on Fedora 24 (Sphinx
1.3.1), rst2pdf doesn't build even the simple kernel-documentation,
failing with this error:
writing Kernel... [ERROR] pdfbuilder.py:130 list index out of range
This is a known bug:
https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/1844
So, maybe we should just disable pdf generation from RST for good,
as I suspect that maintaining it with a broken toolchain will be a
big headache.

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]

Read the version and release from the top level Makefile (for use when

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 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.
