Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) 5ec5aab775 doc: split buffer.rst out of api-summary.rst
Buffer heads are no longer a generic filesystem API but an optional
filesystem support library.  Make the documentation structure reflect
that, and include the fine documentation kept in buffer_head.h.  We could
give a better overview of what buffer heads are all about, but my
enthusiasm for documenting it is limited.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
