Merge tag 'docs-6.4' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "Commit volume in documentation is relatively low this time, but there
  is still a fair amount going on, including:

   - Reorganize the architecture-specific documentation under
     Documentation/arch

     This makes the structure match the source directory and helps to
     clean up the mess that is the top-level Documentation directory a
     bit. This work creates the new directory and moves x86 and most of
     the less-active architectures there.

     The current plan is to move the rest of the architectures in 6.5,
     with the patches going through the appropriate subsystem trees.

   - Some more Spanish translations and maintenance of the Italian
     translation

   - A new "Kernel contribution maturity model" document from Ted

   - A new tutorial on quickly building a trimmed kernel from Thorsten

  Plus the usual set of updates and fixes"
