  But it's quite recent, well structured and there are also

Papers:
-------

  * On Submitting kernel Patches
    Contains 2 case studies of bigger patch sets and how (or how not)
    they were merged. I found it helpful

  * Tracing the Way of Data in a TCP Connection through the Linux Kernel
    Since this was written by me this inclusion may be a bit biased :p
    Neitherless I think this gives a good introduction on
    understanding/exploring linux internals using ftrace and an overview
    of Linux TCP internals.

Documentation/Changes: add minimal requirements for documentation build

As discussed at linux-doc ML, the best is to keep all documents
backward compatible with Sphinx version 1.2, as it is the latest
version found on some distros like Debian.

All books currently support it.

Please notice that, while it mentions the eventual need of
XeLaTex and texlive to build pdf files, this is not a minimal
requirement, as one could just be interested on building html
documents. Also, identifying the minimal requirements for
texlive packages is not trivial, as each distribution seems to
use different criteria on grouping LaTex functionalities.

While here, update the current kernel version to 4.x.

It puts the name of the member at the end, like:

**Members**

``prios[4]``

  array with elements to store the array priorities

Also, as the type is not part of LaTeX "item[]", LaTeX will split it into
multiple lines, if needed.

So, both LaTeX/PDF and HTML outputs will look good.

It should be noticed, however, that the way Sphinx LaTeX output handles
things like:

Foo
   bar

is different than the HTML output. On HTML, it will produce something
like:

**Foo**
   bar

While, on LaTeX, it puts both foo and bar at the same line, like:

**Foo** bar

those warnings (e.g. ioctl) with::

See Sphinx documentation for the config values for ``nitpick`` and
``nitpick_ignore`` [1].

With this change all the ".. cpp:function:: int ioctl(..)" descriptions
(found in the media book) can be migrated to ".. c:function:: int
ioctl(..)", without getting any warnings. E.g.::

  .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct cec_event *argp )

The main effect, is that we get those *CPP-types* back into Sphinx's C-
namespace and we need no longer to distinguish between c/cpp references,
when we refer a function like the ioctl.
