docs: split up the driver book We don't need to keep it as a single large file anymore; split it up so that it is easier to manage and the individual sections can be read directly as plain files. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

Driver Basics
=============
Driver Entry and Exit points
----------------------------
docs: Get module_init() docs from module.h The docs build complains: ./include/linux/init.h:1: warning: no structured comments found The problem is that the comments in question were moved to module.h in commit 0fd972a7d91d (module: relocate module_init from init.h to module.h). Fix basics.rst to match. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
