docs: split up the driver book We don't need to keep it as a single large file anymore; split it up so that it is easier to manage and the individual sections can be read directly as plain files. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

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.

dma-buf: Extract dma-buf.rst Just prep work to polish and consolidate all the dma-buf related documenation. Unfortunately I didn't discover a way to both integrate this new file into the overall toc while keeping it at the current place. Work around that by moving it into the overall driver-api/index.rst.

The intent is not to substantially change any of the content in this patch, but to give a base to build upon.

docs: split up serial-interfaces.rst It never made sense to keep these documents together; move each into its own file. Drop the section numbering on hsi.txt on its way to its own file. Suggested-by: Sebastian Reichel <sre@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

driver-api: create an edac.rst file with EDAC documentation Currently, there's no device driver documentation for the EDAC subsystem at the driver-api book. Fill in the blanks for the structures and functions that misses documentation, uniform the word on the existing ones, and add a new edac.rst file at driver-api, in order to document the EDAC subsystem.

vme: Convert documentation to reStructuredText, move under driver APIs Perform a relatively simple conversion of vme_api.txt to reStructuredText and move under driver-api, which seems the most logical place for this documentation.
