This patchset reworks large parts of the linux drivers section of the
Linux Getting Started Guide, so as to make it clearer and easier to
read. The overall flow of the page is adjusted so that more important
information is nearer the top, and so that all information on VFIO is
consolidated into a single section. In terms of the content of the
sections, there are some minor changes to adjust what is a warning vs
just a "note" in the doc, and there are some updates to increase
emphasis on VFIO ovs UIO.

Including stable on CC for the set, as all patches may be candidates for
backport to help improve docs for older releases too.

  doc/linux_gsg: replace special characters for (R) symbol
