Merge tag 'docs-6.9' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"A moderatly busy cycle for development this time around.
- Some cleanup of the main index page for easier navigation
- Rework some of the other top-level pages for better readability
and, with luck, fewer merge conflicts in the future.
- Submit-checklist improvements, hopefully the first of many.
- New Italian translations
- A fair number of kernel-doc fixes and improvements. We have also
dropped the recommendation to use an old version of Sphinx.
- A new document from Thorsten on bisection
... and lots of fixes and updates"
