2019-05-07docs: livepatch: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab
Convert livepatch documentation to ReST format. The changes are mostly trivial, as the documents are already on a good shape. Just a few markup changes are needed for Sphinx to properly parse the docs. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - The in-file TOC becomes a comment, in order to skip it from the output, as Sphinx already generates an index there. - 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.

2019-05-03LICENSES: Clearly mark dual license only licensesChristoph Hellwig
Just like the CDDL the Apache license and the MPL must only be used as a choice in additional to an GPL2 compatible license. Copy over the boilerplate from the CDDL file to the other two after fixing it up to make it clear the licenses need to be GPL2 compatible, not just the more generic GPL compatible. For example the Apache 2 license is GPL3 compatible, but that doesn't matter for the kernel. Also move these licenses to a separate directory and document the rules in license-rules.rst.
