It's not really documentation, it's code :) If you want to build documentation from the samples use kerneldoc or similar to extrace the comments. Having Documentation/ purely for things not affecting the build make things a whole lot clearer, but if you absolutely insist on it we can put it under Documentation/ as long as it's fully integrated into kbuild and will be built as part of allmodconfig, unlike the current two patches showing code there. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
