The ipmb file was added twice at index.rst. That
sounds to be because the same patch was applied twice,
via different git trees:

	commit f6ae22d6
	Author: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
	Commit: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

	    docs: ipmb: place it at driver-api and convert to ReST

	Author: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
	Commit: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com>

	    docs: ipmb: place it at driver-api and convert to ReST

With Sphinx 4.0.0 development tree, a new warning is produced
due to that:

	.../Documentation/driver-api/index.rst:14: WARNING: duplicated entry found in toctree: driver-api/ipmb

The fix is trivial: just drop the duplicated line.

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

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