Subject: [PATCH 19/57] docs: kdump: convert it to ReST
Date:   Mon, 15 Apr 2019 23:55:44 -0300
Message-Id: <01d5bff1774b8352e2a50bb13b9debbc236f6767.1555382110.git.mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1555382110.git.mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
References: <cover.1555382110.git.mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Convert kdump documentation to ReST and add it to the
user faced manual, as the documents are mainly focused on
sysadmins that would be enabling kdump.

Note: the vmcoreinfo.rst has one very long title for
sub-sections. I opted to break this one, in order to make it
easier to display in html.
