Add documentation of -DCONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER.
I started to add documentation of -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ as well, but
discovered I'm too late; that's now enabled by default.

We dropped __CHECK_ENDIAN__ so __bitwise__ is now an implementation
detail. People should use __bitwise everywhere.

Now that we don't have automatic syntax highlighting, use the code-block
directive with the explicitly selected language, where appropriate.

Add minimal conf.py and moved dev-tools/tools.rst to dev-tools/index.rst
makes the dev-tools folder buildable stand-alone. To build only this
folder run::
make SPHINXDIRS=dev-tools htmldocs
make SPHINXDIRS=dev-tools pdfdocs

Some of the kmemleak_*() callbacks in memblock, bootmem, CMA convert a
physical address to a virtual one using __va(). However, such physical
addresses may sometimes be located in highmem and using __va() is
incorrect, leading to inconsistent object tracking in kmemleak.
The following functions have been added to the kmemleak API and they take
a physical address as the object pointer. They only perform the
corresponding action if the address has a lowmem mapping:
kmemleak_alloc_phys
kmemleak_free_part_phys
kmemleak_not_leak_phys
kmemleak_ignore_phys
The affected calling places have been updated to use the new kmemleak
API.

Fold the sparse document into the development tools set; no changes to the
text itself beyond formatting.

No textual changes have been made, but the formatting has obviously been
tweaked.

This directory will be a collecting point for documentation oriented around
development tools. As a step toward ordering Documentation/ it's a small
one, but we have to start somewhere...
