It makes sense to me. Yet, there are some of those files that contains
both user-facing and kernel-facing docs at the same place. 

Btw, I found the same pattern on *several* other subsystems: when
someone is documenting some feature, it tends to document both kAPI,
uAPI and admin.

Right now, what we did so far on most places were to keep the stuff 
together, as splitting them could sometimes be painful.

As we are too close to finish the ReST conversion[1], I would prefer to
first finish it. 

Then, do a second pass at files outside the new directories (like
admin-guide), in order to better organize things, eventually splitting
some files into kAPI, uAPI and/or admin-guide.

[1] Looking at next-20200217, after my last doc patches applied on this tree:

	https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/log/?h=all_docs_merged

excluding (most) false positives, we have now only ~50 text files left to
convert:

$ dirname $(find Documentation/ -type f|grep -vE '\.(rst|svg|dot|py|awk|sh|pl|gitignore|S|yaml|c|inf|vim|modes)'|grep -vE '(Makefile|Kconfig|LICENSE|COPYING-logo|ChangeLog|CREDITS)'|grep -v devicetree/bindings|grep -vE 'Documentation/(ABI|features|output|SubmittingPatches|CodingStyle|logo.gif|dontdiff|sphinx/requirements.txt|admin-guide/kdump/gdbmacros.txt|admin-guide/aoe/udev.txt|EDID/hex|netlabel/draft-ietf-cipso-ipsecurity-01.txt|firmware_class/hotplug-script|target/target-export-device|networking/mac80211-auth-assoc-deauth.txt|sparc/oradax/dax-hv-api.txt)'|grep -v translations)|sort|uniq -c|sort -n
$ echo -n "Total: "

Once we get this series merged, I'm planning to prepare and submit a second
series doing the conversion for the other ~20 filesystem files.

Btw, if you want to look how things will become after my patch series,
I'm keeping a html build after all my patch series at:
