Jon,

There are ACPI-related documents currently in Documentation/acpi/ that
don't clearly fall under either driver-api or admin-guide. For
example, some of them describe various aspects of the ACPI support
subsystem operation and some document expectations with respect to the
ACPI tables provided by the firmware etc.

Where would you recommend to put them after converting to .rst?

Cheers,
Rafael
