DocBook: Update with the -git changes
From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
After this patch, -git and -hg trees were updated to have the DocBook at
the kernel tree.
All duplicated info were removed.
Still pending: there are some dynamic files generated:
media-entities.tmpl and media-indexes.tmpl:
created from v4l and dvb *.xml files;
*.c.xml *.h.xml:
created from some in-trees and out-trees files.
We need a proccess to auto-generate those files every time
someone touches a file that affects the DocBook.
It would be possible to add the rules to generate some of
them at kernel's Makefile, but what to do with the out-of-tree
files? move them to kernel tree?
kernel-sync:
