Those files are actually at ReST format. Ok, currently, they
don't belong to any place yet at the organized book series,
but we don't want patches to break them as ReST files. So,
rename them and add a :orphan: in order to shut up warning
messages like those:
...
Documentation/svga.rst: WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree
Documentation/switchtec.rst: WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree
...
Later patches will move them to a better place and remove the
:orphan: markup.

I had to remove the long list of maintainers got by
getpatch.pl, as it was too long. I opted to keep only the
mailing lists.

Replacing a node this way does not re-sort the tree: If the new node doesn't
have the same key as the old node, the rbtree will probably become corrupted.

Rename the /proc/sys/ documentation files to ReST, using the
README file as a template for an index.rst, adding the other
files there via TOC markup.
Despite being written on different times with different
styles, try to make them somewhat coherent with a similar
look and feel, ensuring that they'll look nice as both
raw text file and as via the html output produced by the
Sphinx build system.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
