EDAC is part of the Kernel's RAS facilities, with is useful for
system admins to detect errors. So, add it to the admin's guide.

Now that oops-tracing.rst has only information about
stack dumps found on OOPS, and bug-hunting.rst has only
information about how to identify the source code line
associated with a stack dump, let's merge them and
improve the information inside it.

The tainted kernels info is not directly related to
the oops tracing. So, let's move it to a separate file.

The creation of the admin and process guides is a great thing, but, without
care, we risk replacing a messy docs directory with a few messy Sphinx
books. In an attempt to head that off and show what I'm thinking, here's a
set of tweaks that, I think, make the existing Sphinx-formatted docs a bit
more accessible.
The document has not been touched in over 11 years and doesn't reflect how
profiling is done in the perf era.

The last release of this tool was for 2.6.28; it's hard to see how it has
any relevance to current kernels.

The admin guide is a good start, but it's time to turn it into something
better than an unordered blob of files. This is a first step in that
direction. The TOC has been split up and annotated, the guides have been
reordered, and minor tweaks have been applied to a few of them.
One consequence of splitting up the TOC is that we don't really want to use
:numbered: anymore, since the count resets every time and there doesn't
seem to be a way to change that. Eventually we probably want to group the
documents into sub-books, at which point we can go back to a single TOC,
but it's probably early to do that.

The index should only be included if the build of the sub-folder is done
with the html-builder (HTML output).

Place README, REPORTING-BUGS, SecurityBugs and kernel-parameters
on an user's manual book.
As we'll be numbering the user's manual, remove the manual
numbering from SecurityBugs.
