This is a straightforward conversion, without any real textual changes.
Since this document has seen no substantive changes since its addition in
2006, some such changes are probably warranted.

The vsnprintf() kernel-doc comment uses % character with a special
meaning other than escaping a constant. As ReST already defines
``literal`` as an escape sequence, let's make kernel-doc handle it,
and use it at lib/vsprintf.c.

On ReST, adding a text like ``literal`` is valid. However,
the kernel-doc script won't handle it fine.

We really need this feature, in order to escape things like
%ph, with is found on some C files.

The user/admin documentation of cpufreq is badly outdated.  It
conains stale and/or inaccurate information along with things
that are not particularly useful.  Also, some of the important
pieces are missing from it.

For this reason, add a new user/admin document for cpufreq
containing current information to admin-guide and drop the old
outdated .txt documents it is replacing.

Since there will be more PM documents in admin-guide going forward,
create a separate directory for them and put the cpufreq document
in there right away.

Now that we have an extension to handle images, use it.

Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

This patch brings scalable figure, image handling and a concept to
embed *render* markups:

* DOT (http://www.graphviz.org

)
* SVG

For image handling use the 'image' replacement::

    .. kernel-image::  svg_image.svg
       :alt:    simple SVG image

For figure handling use the 'figure' replacement::

    .. kernel-figure::  svg_image.svg
       :alt:    simple SVG image

       SVG image example

Embed *render* markups (or languages) like Graphviz's **DOT** is
provided by the *render* directive.::

  .. kernel-render:: DOT
     :alt: foobar digraph
     :caption: Embedded **DOT** (Graphviz) code.

     digraph foo {
      "bar" -> "baz";
     }

The *render* directive is a concept to integrate *render* markups and
languages, yet supported markups:

* DOT: render embedded Graphviz's **DOT**
* SVG: render embedded Scalable Vector Graphics (**SVG**)

We're still pretty far away from anything like a consensus, but
there's clearly a lot of people who prefer an as-light as possible
approach to converting existing .txt files to .rst. Make sure this is
properly taken into account and clear.
