On a side note, I was browsing for the generated kernel documentation at
https://www.kernel.org/ and realized that AFAICT there are no links to
https://www.kernel.org/doc/ or https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/.

The former could use some love, but I think the latter is nice enough to
warrant a link from the main page.
