Both bootmem and memblock are have pretty good internal documentation
coverage. With addition of some overview we get a nice description of the
early memory management.

Although the api is documented in the source code Ted has pointed out
that there is no mention in the core-api Documentation and there are
people looking there to find answers how to use a specific API.

Move the idr kernel-doc to its own idr.rst file and add a few
paragraphs about how to use it.  Also add some more kernel-doc.

 - Move errseq.rst into core-api
 - Add errseq to the core-api index
 - Promote the header to a more prominent header type, otherwise we get three
   entries in the table of contents.
 - Reformat the table to look nicer and be a little more proportional in
   terms of horizontal width per bit (the SF bit is still disproportionately
   large, but there's no way to fix that).
 - Include errseq kernel-doc in the errseq.rst
 - Neaten some kernel-doc markup

Documentation/printk-formats.txt is a candidate for conversion to
ReStructuredText format. Some effort has already been made to do this
conversion even thought the suffix is currently .txt

Changes required to complete conversion

 - Move printk-formats.txt to core-api/printk-formats.rst
 - Add entry to Documentation/core-api/index.rst
 - Remove entry from Documentation/00-INDEX
 - Fix minor grammatical errors.
 - Order heading adornments as suggested by rst docs.
 - Use 'Passed by reference' uniformly.
 - Update pointer documentation around %px specifier.
 - Fix erroneous double backticks (to commas).
 - Remove extraneous double backticks (suggested by Jonathan Corbet).
 - Simplify documentation for kobject.

Some functions from refcount_t API provide different
memory ordering guarantees that their atomic counterparts.
This adds a document outlining these differences (
Documentation/core-api/refcount-vs-atomic.rst) as well as
some other minor improvements.

A couple of the most minor heading tweaks, otherwise no changes to the text
itself beyond the mechanical conversion.

Note that the inclusion of the kerneldoc comments from the source has never
worked, since exported symbols were asked for and none of those functions
are exported to modules.  It doesn't work here either :)
