docs-rst: add documents to development-process

Add several documents to the development-process ReST book.

As we don't want renames, use symlinks instead, keeping those
documents on their original place.

-Linux magic numbers
-===================
-
-This file is a registry of magic numbers which are in use.  When you
-add a magic number to a structure, you should also add it to this
-file, since it is best if the magic numbers used by various structures
-are unique.
-
-It is a **very** good idea to protect kernel data structures with magic
-numbers.  This allows you to check at run time whether (a) a structure
-has been clobbered, or (b) you've passed the wrong structure to a
-routine.  This last is especially useful --- particularly when you are
-passing pointers to structures via a void * pointer.  The tty code,
-for example, does this frequently to pass driver-specific and line
-discipline-specific structures back and forth.
-
-The way to use magic numbers is to declare then at the beginning of
-the structure, like so::
-
-	struct tty_ldisc {
-		int	magic;
-		...
-	};
-
-Please follow this discipline when you are adding future enhancements
-to the kernel!  It has saved me countless hours of debugging,
-especially in the screwy cases where an array has been overrun and
-structures following the array have been overwritten.  Using this
-discipline, these cases get detected quickly and safely.

-					Theodore Ts'o

-
-  The magic table is current to Linux 2.1.55.
-
-					Michael Chastain
-					<mailto:mec@shout.net>
-					22 Sep 1997
-
-  Now it should be up to date with Linux 2.1.112. Because
-  we are in feature freeze time it is very unlikely that
-  something will change before 2.2.x. The entries are
-  sorted by number field.
-

-					29 Jul 1998
-
-  Updated the magic table to Linux 2.5.45. Right over the feature freeze,
-  but it is possible that some new magic numbers will sneak into the
-  kernel before 2.6.x yet.

-					Petr Baudis
-					<pasky@ucw.cz>
-					03 Nov 2002
-
-  Updated the magic table to Linux 2.5.74.

-Note that there are also defined special per-driver magic numbers in sound
-memory management. See ``include/sound/sndmagic.h`` for complete list of them. Many
-OSS sound drivers have their magic numbers constructed from the soundcard PCI
-ID - these are not listed here as well.
-
-IrDA subsystem also uses large number of own magic numbers, see
-``include/net/irda/irda.h`` for a complete list of them.
-
-HFS is another larger user of magic numbers - you can find them in
-``fs/hfs/hfs.h``.
