Dave Hansen 7f5d465f4d docs: clarify security-bugs disclosure policy
I think we need to soften the language a bit.  It might scare folks
off, especially the:

	 We prefer to fully disclose the bug as soon as possible.

which is not really the case.  Linus says:

	It's not full disclosure, it's not coordinated disclosure,
	and it's not "no disclosure".  It's more like just "timely
	open fixes".

I changed a bit of the wording in here, but mostly to remove the word
"disclosure" since it seems to mean very specific things to people
that we do not mean here.

Matthew Wilcox 46347502b0 Restructure kernel-doc.rst
I found the layout confusing with multiple introductions to what
kernel-doc is and how to use it.

I made the following changes:
 - Moved the 'Including kernel-doc comments' section to the end of
   the document -- we should explain what it *is* before we explain
   how to integrate it.
 - Moved the 'Recommendations' subsection to the top.  We want people
   to know what to document before telling them how to do it.
 - Rewrite the 'Writing kernel-doc comments' section, integrating
   the 'Recommendations' subsection and a paragraph from 'How to format
   kernel-doc comments'.
 - Remove the paragraph about the kernel-doc script; we're supposed to
   be teaching people how to use punctuation to write pretty documentation,
   not documenting the build tooling.
 - Split the 'Parameters and member arguments' section into 'Function
   parameters' and 'Members'.  Structure members are not commonly
   referred to as arguments.
 - Integrate the 'private:' and 'public:' tag descriptions into the
   'Members' section.
 - Move the 'In-line member documentation comments' subsection up to be
   with the 'Members' section.
