  Hi,

initially the plan was to simply transform already existing comments in
timer code into kernel-doc DOC blocks, and reference them inside a *.rst
file. After trying to get familiar with the kernel documentation by reading
Documentation/doc-guide/* and have a look at the existing timer related
kernel documentation (which is below Documentation/timers and also below
Documentation/driver-api), the list what should/could be improved started
to grow.

So the aim of the queue is to do the first step for moving the timer
related stuff into the 'core-api book'. It contains the following changes:

- Do not expose internal hrtimer documentation (to prevent people of
  thinking they should use it somehow directly)

- Add missing documentation and update existing ones to be compatible with
  kernel-doc/rst

- Create a subfolder in core-api to make this the final destination of
  up-to-date timer documentation. Add banner to already existing timer
  related documentation to make sure they are really up to date before they
  are moved to the final destination.

- Move timer API from driver-api to core-api

- Add two files which make (in code hidden) timer documentation accessible
  via kernel documentation

Thanks,

	Anna-Maria
