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"

<title>auxdisplay/ht16k33.c: Convert to use vm_map_pages_zero()</title>

While using mmap, the incorrect values of length and vm_pgoff are
ignored and this driver goes ahead with mapping fbdev.buffer
to user vma.

Convert vm_insert_pages() to use vm_map_pages_zero(). We could later
"fix" these drivers to behave according to the normal vm_pgoff
offsetting simply by removing the _zero suffix on the function name
and if that causes regressions, it gives us an easy way to revert.

<title>docs: kbuild: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst</title>

The kbuild documentation clearly shows that the documents
there are written at different times: some use markdown,
some use their own peculiar logic to split sections.

Convert everything to ReST without affecting too much
the author's style and avoiding adding uneeded markups.

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust 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.

The charlcd driver currently flashes the backlight once on init.
This may not be desirable.  Thus, add options for turning the
backlight off or on as well.

If CONFIG_PANEL_CHANGE_MESSAGE is set, CONFIG_PANEL_BOOT_MESSAGE will
also be defined, so the double ifdef is pointless.  Simplify the code
further by using an intermediate macro rather duplicating most of the
line.

<content type='text'>
The auxdisplay Kconfig is confusing.  It creates two separate menus
even though the settings are closely related.  Moreover, the options
for setting the boot message depend on CONFIG_PARPORT even though they
are used by drivers that do not.

Clear up the confusion by moving the "Parallel port LCD/Keypad" menu
under auxdisplay where it logically belongs.  Change the boot message
options to depend only on CONFIG_CHARLCD, making them accessible also
when only the HD44780 is selected.

Since the "Parallel port LCD/Keypad" driver now has a new dependency
on CONFIG_AUXDISPLAY, rename its Kconfig symbol and keep the old one
such that make oldconfig will not disable the driver.
