  Hi,

Last year at LSF/MM Matthew promptly created the new structure for MM
documentation, but there still was no patches with content.

I've started to work on it a while ago and I wanted to send it out in a
more complete form, but I've got distracted and didn't have time to work
on this.

With fast changes around struct page and the threat of Lorenzo's book,
I've decided to send out what I have till now with a hope that we can
really make this a collaborative effort with people filling paragraph
here and there.

If somebody does not feel like sending formal patches, just send me the
"raw" text my way and I'll deal with the rest.

The text is relatively heavily formatted because I believe the target
audience will prefer html version.

v4:
* squash commits into one (Bagas)
* fix references formatting (kbuild)
* add Reviewed-by and Acked-by tags

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230112091616.824565-1-rppt@kernel.org
* rephrase ZONE_DMA(32) and ZONE_MOVABLE description (Michal)
* add cross-reference to DMA API

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230110152358.2641910-1-rppt@kernel.org
* rephrase the paragraph inroducing zones (Lorenzo)
* update formatting (Bagas)
* add section stubs (Bagas)
* small fixes here and there

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230101094523.1522109-1-rppt@kernel.org

Is that your way of saying that you think it's perhaps ready to be
applied?  I've been watching the discussion but wasn't sure if things
have settled or not.

Thanks,

jon

Well, everybody who participated in the discussion acked the patch, so
yeah, I think it's ready ;-)
