<id>urn:sha1:eacc670fa452d8ec70b2eaa6189aefaa1708dd34</id>
<content type='text'>
Rearrange some kernel-api chapters and sections to group them
together better.

- move Bit Operations from Basic C Library Functions to Basic
  Kernel Library Functions (now adjacent to Bitmap Operations since
  they are not typical C library functions)

- move Sorting from Math Functions to Basic Kernel Library Functions
  since sort functions are more Basic than Math Functions

- move Text Searching from Math Functions to Basic Kernel Library
  Functions (keep Sorting and Searching close to each other)

- combine CRC and Math functions together into the (newly named)
  CRC and Math Functions chapter

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "A relatively calm cycle for the docs tree again.

  - The old driver statement has been added to the kernel docs.

  - We have a couple of new helper scripts. find-unused-docs.sh from
    Sayli Karnic will point out kerneldoc comments that are not actually
    used in the documentation. Jani Nikula's
    documentation-file-ref-check finds references to non-existing files.

  - A new ftrace document from Steve Rostedt.

  - Vinod Koul converted the dmaengine docs to RST

  Beyond that, it's mostly simple fixes.

  This set reaches outside of Documentation/ a bit more than most. In
  all cases, the changes are to comment docs, mostly from Randy, in
  places where there didn't seem to be anybody better to take them"

Commit 764f80798b95 ("doc: Add RCU files to docbook-generation files")
added :external: options for RCU source files in the file
Documentation/core-api/kernel-api.rst.  However, this now means nothing,
so this commit removes them.

There are some good comments about bitmap operations in lib/bitmap.c
and include/linux/bitmap.h, so format them for document generation and
pull them into core-api/kernel-api.rst.

I converted the "tables" of functions from using tabs to using spaces
so that they are more readable in the source file and in the generated
output.
