Merge tag 'docs-5.3' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs:

   - A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro. These create more
     than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with
     other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on
     the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on.

   - A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos,
     and one on Spectre vulnerabilities.

   - Various improvements to the build system, including automatic
     markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I
     will never understand, were of the opinion that
     :c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type.

   - We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4.

   - Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc"

-=========
-
-Device-Mapper's "linear" target maps a linear range of the Device-Mapper
-device onto a linear range of another device.  This is the basic building
-block of logical volume managers.
-
-Parameters: <dev path> <offset>
-    <dev path>: Full pathname to the underlying block-device, or a
-                "major:minor" device-number.
-    <offset>: Starting sector within the device.
-
