I've looked both through the patches in Jani's branch and the
resulting docs. Spotted 2 nitpicks, which are already fixed, and it
looks imo _really_ good.

I think next steps is to get this merged into docs-next, with a stable
tag, so that I can pull it into drm-misc. There's still piles of
little polish to do to make it really pretty, but that's almost all in
the kernel-doc comments or .rst files itself. I think for starting we
could convert a few docs already, or just add the index.rst and leave
conversions to maintainers. At least for gpu.tmpl I expect some need
for cordination with ongoing work.
