Can you let us know whether the CC-by-SA 4.0 license is acceptible
or not? That's really the only thing that we need clarified at this
point - if it's OK I'll to pull this into the XFS tree for the 4.20
merge window. If not, we'll go back to the drawing board....

OK, I've had a long conversation with the LF lawyer, and she said clearly
that we really should not be introducing CC-SA material into the kernel
source tree.  It's a pain; I really do like CC-SA better for
documentation, but it's not GPL-compatible, and that creates a problem for
the processed docs.

That was exactly my concern with this patchset.

Btw, I think we have the same issue with idr.rst, and unless we can
relicense it we should drop it from the tree, as it actually includes
kernel source files.
