>   doc: replace special characters for (R) symbol in Linux GSG
>   doc: fix missing note on UIO module in Linux GSG
>   doc: make UIO safety warning more visible in Linux GSG
>   doc: move section on binding drivers up the page in GSG
>   doc: emphasise VFIO over UIO-based modules in GSG
>   doc: split GSG VFIO section into subsections
>   doc: move GSG section on UIO to the end of drivers page
>   doc: consolidate all VFIO content on GSG driver page
>   doc: change informational warnings to notes in Linux GSG

Except for the first 2 patches, I think it is not mandatory to backport,
so I've removed the tag Cc:stable.

Applied, thanks.
