Merge tag 'docs-5.5a' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "Here are the main documentation changes for 5.5:

   - Various kerneldoc script enhancements.

   - More RST conversions; those are slowing down as we run out of
     things to convert, but we're a ways from done still.

   - Dan's "maintainer profile entry" work landed at last. Now we just
     need to get maintainers to fill in the profiles...

   - A reworking of the parallel build setup to work better with a
     variety of systems (and to not take over huge systems entirely in
     particular).

   - The MAINTAINERS file is now converted to RST during the build.
     Hopefully nobody ever tries to print this thing, or they will need
     to load a lot of paper.

   - A script and documentation making it easy for maintainers to add
     Link: tags at commit time.

  Also included is the removal of a bunch of spurious CR characters"

 grep'able. If in the future we need to modify the way the kernel handles
 printing pointers we will be better equipped to find the call sites.
