This seems to work on top of docs-next.

Yes.

...but it'll break again if we include the missing admin-guide in the
build. :(

LaTeX/PDF output is ugly... for each new stuff, we need to re-validate its
output :-(

Once we have this working, I think the only way to keep it working is to
have continuous testing of the pdf build. That won't keep the output
pretty, but it'll help ensure passing build.

Perhaps 0day could eventually start running 'make DOCBOOKS="" pdfdocs'
after the htmldocs target? Cc: Fengguang and kbuild-all.

OK. We'll add the 'pdfdocs' test right after 'htmldocs'.
Thank you for the tip.
