  • Rationale:
    Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
    as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

    Deterministic algorithm:
    For each file:
    If not .svg:
    For each line:
    If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
    For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
    If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
    If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
    return 200 OK and serve the same content:
    Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

  • The IPMI is under drivers/char. This doc describes the kAPI
    part of the IPMI (mainly).

    So, move it to the driver-api directory and add it to the
    corresponding index.rst file.
