There are a number of random documents that seem to be
describing some aspects of the core-api. Move them to such
directory, adding them at the core-api/index.rst file.

The nommu-mmap mostly provides description of user visible behaviuour. I
think it's bettter to have it in admin-guide/mm/.

This one doesn't apply for me. Beyond that, I'm not entirely convinced
about a couple of the moves...
- mailbox.txt seems like driver-api stuff to me?
- nommu-mmap.txt is mostly (though not completely) about the semantic of
mmap() options as seen by user space, so perhaps belongs in that
manual...?
Thanks,
jon
