sysfs-pci and sysfs-tagging were mis-filed: their locations within
Documentation/ implied that they were related to file systems. Actually,
each topic is about a very specific *use* of sysfs, and sysfs *happens*
to be a (virtual) filesystem, so this is not really the right place.

It's jarring to be reading about filesystems in general and then come
across these specific details about PCI, and tagging...and then back to
general filesystems again.

Move sysfs-pci to PCI, and move sysfs-tagging to networking. (Thanks to
Jonathan Corbet for coming up with the final locations.)

There are behavioural requirements on the seq_file next() function in
terms of how it updates *pos at end-of-file, and these are now enforced
by a warning.

I was recently attempting to justify the reason this was needed, and
couldn't remember the details, and didn't find them in the
documentation.

So I re-read the code until I understood it again, and updated the
documentation to match.

I also enhanced the text about SEQ_START_TOKEN as it seemed potentially
misleading.

The command-line parameters "dyndbg" and "async_probe" are not
parameters for kernel/module.c but instead they are for the
module that is being loaded. Try to make that distinction in the
help text.

OTOH, "module.sig_enforce" is handled as a parameter of kernel/module.c
so "module." is correct for it.

Subroutine dump_struct uses type attributes to check if the struct
syntax is valid. Then, it removes all attributes before using it for
output. `____cacheline_aligned` is an attribute that is
not included in both steps. Add it, since it is used by kernel structs.

Based on previous patch to add ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp.
Motivated by patches to reorder this attribute to before the
variable name.   Whilst we could do that in all cases, that would
be a massive change and it is more common in the kernel to place
this particular attribute after the variable name. A quick grep
suggests approximately 400 instances of which 341 have this
attribute just before a semicolon and hence after the variable name.

Cross-referencing to other documentation pages is possible using the
:doc:`doc-file` directive from Sphinx.

Add automatic markup for references to other documentation pages in the
format Documentation/subfolder/doc-file.rst (the extension being
optional).
This requires that the path be passed all the way from the Documentation
folder, which can be longer than passing a relative path through the
:doc: directive, but avoids the markup, making the text cleaner when
read in plain text.
