Yes this is a bit a big patch, but since it's essentially a complete rewrite of all the prime docs I didn't see how to better split it up. Changes: - Consistently point to drm_gem_object_funcs as the preferred hooks, where applicable. - Document all the hooks in &drm_driver that lacked kerneldoc. - Completely new overview section, which now also includes the cleaned up lifetime/reference counting subchapter. I also mentioned the weak references in there due to the lookup caches. - Completely rewritten helper intro section, highlight the import/export related functionality. - Polish for all the functions and more cross references. I also sprinkled a bunch of todos all over. Most important: 0 code changes in here. The cleanup motivated by reading and improving all this will follow later on. v2: Actually update the prime helper docs. Plus add a few FIXMEs that I won't address right away in subsequent cleanup patches. v3: - Split out the function moving. This patch is now exclusively documentation changes. - Typos and nits (Sam). v4: Polish suggestions from Noralf.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
