I just took a look at this and it looks like a very handy document.
I think having something like this in the upstream kernel doc would
be great.

I don't hear any objections. I guess we'll get some feedback when we
post some patches to the linux-doc mailing list.

I would say go for it, and copy this list so we can discuss the planned
document format (and content, of course).

A lot of the information in the android doc would apply to the kernel doc.
