Architecture-specific documentation is being moved into Documentation/arch/
as a way of cleaning up the top-level documentation directory and making
the docs hierarchy more closely match the source hierarchy. Move
Documentation/arm64 into arch/ (along with the Chinese equvalent
translations) and fix up documentation references.

FEAT_SVE2p1 introduces a number of new SVE instructions. Since there is no
new architectural state added kernel support is simply a new hwcap which
lets userspace know that the feature is supported.

Currently our ABI documentation says that the state of the bits in the Z
registers not shared with the V registers becomes undefined on syscall but
our actual implementation unconditionally clears these bits. Taking
advantage of the flexibility of our documented ABI would be a change in the
observable ABI so there is concern around doing so, instead document the
actual behaviour so that it is more discoverable for userspace programmers
who might be able to take advantage of it and to record our decision about
not changing the kernel ABI.
This makes qemu's user mode implementation buggy since it does not clear
these bits.

Provide ABI documentation for SME similar to that for SVE. Due to the very
large overlap around streaming SVE mode in both implementation and
interfaces documentation for streaming mode SVE is added to the SVE
document rather than the SME one.

while to come. Changes include:
- Some new Chinese translations
- Progress on the battle against double words words and non-HTTPS
URLs
- Some block-mq documentation
- More RST conversions from Mauro. At this point, that task is
essentially complete, so we shouldn't see this kind of churn again
for a while. Unless we decide to switch to asciidoc or
something...:)
- Lots of typo fixes, warning fixes, and more"

sve.rst describes a flag PR_SVE_SET_VL_INHERIT for the
PR_SVE_SET_VL prctl, but there is no flag of this name. The flag
is shared between the _GET and _SET calls, so the _SET prefix was
dropped, giving the name PR_SVE_VL_INHERIT in the headers.
Fix it.

Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs:
- A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro. These create more
than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with
other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on
the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on.
- A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos,
and one on Spectre vulnerabilities.
- Various improvements to the build system, including automatic
markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I
will never understand, were of the opinion that
:c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type.
- We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4.
- Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc"

The documentation is in a format that is very close to ReST format.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines in order to identify paragraphs;
- fixing tables markups;
- adding some lists markups;
- marking literal blocks;
- adjust some title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
