Jonathan Corbet fd7db68b93 docs: Get rid of some kernel-documentation warnings
Sphinx wants to interpret all literal blocks as being in the chosen
language and complains when an attempt to parse a block fails.
kernel-documentation.rst has a few blocks that are not in C; make that
explicit to shut down the associated warnings.

Markus Heiser 0249a76448 doc-rst: flat-table directive - initial implementation
Implements the reST flat-table directive.

The ``flat-table`` is a double-stage list similar to the ``list-table`` with
some additional features:

* column-span: with the role ``cspan`` a cell can be extended through
  additional columns

* row-span: with the role ``rspan`` a cell can be extended through
  additional rows

* auto span rightmost cell of a table row over the missing cells on the right
  side of that table-row.  With Option ``:fill-cells:`` this behavior can
  changed from *auto span* to *auto fill*, which automaticly inserts (empty)

list tables

  The *list tables* formats are double stage lists. Compared to the
  ASCII-art they migth be less comfortable for readers of the
  text-files. Their advantage is, that they are easy to create/modify
  and that the diff of a modification is much more meaningfull, because
  it is limited to the modified content.

The initial implementation was taken from the sphkerneldoc project [1]
