No, it's not API stuff, and not limited to drivers.

Again, not really API stuff.

If we really want to separate the mechanics of kernel development from
the associated process information - not always an easy separation, IMO
- we could make a top-level "development" directory, put a lot of the
other relevant stuff there, and include the debugging stuff. It seems
really weird to put debugging by itself, though; it's only part of the
picture.
Why is Documentation/process so bad?
