<content type='text'>
Add several documents to the development-process ReST book.

As we don't want renames, use symlinks instead, keeping those
documents on their original place.

Add cross references for the documents mentioned at HOWTO and
are under the Documentation/ directory, using the ReST notation.

It should be noticed that HOWTO also mentions the /README file.
We opted to not touch it, for now, as making it build on
Sphinx would require it to be moved to a Documentation/foo
directory.

Fixes the checkpatch.pl warning:
"WARNING: Use a single space after Cc:"

Very lazy hackers just copy&amp;paste the stable tag from this
document. As it contains an extra space, checkpatch.pl will
not like the resulting patch...

Clearly specify that "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" is strongly preferred so
that developers understand that the other options should only be used when
absolutely required.

Also specify how upstream commit ids should be referenced in patches
submitted directly to stable (I gathered this from looking at the stable
archives), and specify that any modified patches for stable should be
clearly documented in the patch description.

<title>stable_kernel_rules: reorganize and update submission options</title>

<content type='text'>
The current organization of Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
doesn't clearly differentiate the mutually exclusive options for
submission to the -stable review process. As I understand it, patches
are not actually required to be mailed directly to
stable@vger.kernel.org, but the instructions do not make this clear.

Also, there are some established processes that are not listed --
specifically, what I call Option 2 below.

This patch updates and reorganizes a bit, to make things clearer.
