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.

+Index of Documentation for People Interested in Writing and/or Understanding the Linux Kernel
+=============================================================================================
+
+          Juan-Mariano de Goyeneche <jmseyas@dit.upm.es>
+
+The need for a document like this one became apparent in the
+linux-kernel mailing list as the same questions, asking for pointers
+to information, appeared again and again.
+
+Fortunately, as more and more people get to GNU/Linux, more and more
+get interested in the Kernel. But reading the sources is not always
+enough. It is easy to understand the code, but miss the concepts, the
+philosophy and design decisions behind this code.
+
+Unfortunately, not many documents are available for beginners to
+start. And, even if they exist, there was no "well-known" place which
+kept track of them. These lines try to cover this lack. All documents
+available on line known by the author are listed, while some reference
+books are also mentioned.
+
+PLEASE, if you know any paper not listed here or write a new document,
+send me an e-mail, and I'll include a reference to it here. Any
+corrections, ideas or comments are also welcomed.
+
+The papers that follow are listed in no particular order. All are
+cataloged with the following fields: the document's "Title", the
+"Author"/s, the "URL" where they can be found, some "Keywords" helpful
+when searching for specific topics, and a brief "Description" of the
+Document.
+
+Enjoy!
+
+.. note::
+
+   The documents on each section of this document are ordered by its
+   published date, from the newest to the oldest.

+    * Name: **linux/Documentation**
+
+      :Author: Many.
+      :Location: Documentation/
+      :Keywords: text files, Sphinx, DocBook.
+      :Description: Documentation that comes with the kernel sources,
+        inside the Documentation directory. Some pages from this document

+        be more up to date than the web version.
+
+    * Title: **The Kernel Hacking HOWTO**
+
+      :Author: Various Talented People, and Rusty.
+      :Location: Documentation/DocBook/kernel-hacking.tmpl
+      :Keywords: HOWTO, kernel contexts, deadlock, locking, modules,

+      :Description: From the Introduction: "Please understand that I
+        never wanted to write this document, being grossly underqualified,
+        but I always wanted to read it, and this was the only way. I
+        simply explain some best practices, and give reading entry-points
+        into the kernel sources. I avoid implementation details: that's
+        what the code is for, and I ignore whole tracts of useful
+        routines. This document assumes familiarity with C, and an
+        understanding of what the kernel is, and how it is used. It was
+        originally written for the 2.3 kernels, but nearly all of it
+        applies to 2.2 too; 2.0 is slightly different".
+
+    * Title: **Linux Kernel Locking HOWTO**
+
+      :Author: Various Talented People, and Rusty.

+      :Keywords: locks, locking, spinlock, semaphore, atomic, race
+        condition, bottom halves, tasklets, softirqs.
+      :Description: The title says it all: document describing the
+        locking system in the Linux Kernel either in uniprocessor or SMP
+        systems.
+      :Notes: "It was originally written for the later (>2.3.47) 2.3
+        kernels, but most of it applies to 2.2 too; 2.0 is slightly
+        different". Freely redistributable under the conditions of the GNU
