mainlining shenanigans
d2ad00eb78
Documentation was already saying that fixed and dynamic partitioning can be mixed but was missing a clear description and examples. This commit adds a proper documentation of how descriptions can be nested and how layouts can be mixed. This addition is important for partitions that contain subpartitions. In such cases partitions have to be properly described in order to let system handle them correctly. Depending on situation, nesting descriptions may provide more accurate logic/structure and/or allow mixing partitioning types (various "compatible" values).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
