'Other material' section on 'process/index' is for unsorted documents.
However we also have a dedicated place for the purpose, 'staging/'.
Move 'magic-number' from the section to 'staging/' directory.

These char PCMCIA drivers are buggy[1] and receive only minimal care. It
was concluded[2], that we should try to remove most pcmcia drivers
completely. Let's start with these char broken one.
Note that I also removed a UAPI header: include/uapi/linux/cm4000_cs.h.
I found only coccinelle tests mentioning some ioctl constants from that
file. But they are not actually used. Anyway, should someone complain,
we may reintroduce the header (or its parts).

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of driver core and debug printk changes for
6.1-rc1. Included in here is:
- dynamic debug updates for the core and the drm subsystem. The drm
changes have all been acked by the relevant maintainers
- kernfs fixes for syzbot reported problems
- kernfs refactors and updates for cgroup requirements
- magic number cleanups and removals from the kernel tree (they were
not being used and they really did not actually do anything)
- other tiny cleanups
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues"

The entire file blames back to the start of git
(minus whitespace from the RST translation and a typo fix):
* there are changelog comments for March 1994 through to Linux 2.5.74
* struct tty_ldisc is two pointers nowadays, so naturally no magic
* GDA_MAGIC is defined but unused, and it's been this way
since start-of-git
* M3_CARD_MAGIC isn't defined, because
commit d56b9b9c464a ("[PATCH] The scheduled removal of some OSS
drivers") removed the entire driver in 2006
* CS_CARD_MAGIC likewise since
commit b5d425c97f7d ("more scheduled OSS driver removal") in 2007
* KMALLOC_MAGIC and VMALLOC_MAGIC were removed in
commit e38e0cfa48ac ("[ALSA] Remove kmalloc wrappers"),
six months after start of git
* SLAB_C_MAGIC has never even appeared in git
(removed in 2.4.0-test3pre6)
magic-number.rst is a low-value historial relic at best and
misleading cruft at worst, so start with cleaning out ones that only
appear therein

First, it is never checked. Second, use of it as a debugging aid is
at least questionable. With the current tools, I don't think anyone used
this kind of thing for debugging purposes for years.
On the top of that, e.g. serdev does not set this field of tty_ldisc_ops
at all.
So get rid of this legacy.

While the driver is still marked as maintained in MAINTAINERS, Comtrol
does not really care about this ancient driver. They are still
manufacturing serial devices, but those are controlled only by
out-of-tree drivers.
Comtrol didn't answer my pings, so this driver is apparently
unmaintained. Aside from that, the driver was untouched for years, only
whole-tree changes happened during the past years. The driver needs much
more care, so drop it for now. If someone steps up to reintroduce it,
they need to clean it up first.

This driver transports LAPB (X.25 link layer) frames over TTY links.
I can safely say that this driver has no actual user because it was
not working at all until:

The code in its current state still has problems:
1.
The uses of "struct x25_asy" in x25_asy_unesc (when receiving) and in
x25_asy_write_wakeup (when sending) are not protected by locks against
x25_asy_change_mtu's changing of the transmitting/receiving buffers.
Also, all "netif_running" checks in this driver are not protected by
locks against the ndo_stop function.
2.
The driver stops all TTY read/write when the netif is down.
I think this is not right because this may cause the last outgoing frame
before the netif goes down to be incompletely transmitted, and the first
incoming frame after the netif goes up to be incompletely received.
And there may also be other problems.
I was planning to fix these problems but after recent discussions about
deleting other old networking code, I think we may just delete this
driver, too.

This means removing support for checking magic in amiserial.c
(SERIAL_PARANOIA_CHECK option), which was checking a magic field which
doesn't currently exist in the struct. That code hasn't built at least
since git.
Removing the definition from the header is safe anyway as that code was
from another driver and not including it.

This patch does not translate entirely the subfolder "process/"
but only part of it (to begin with).
In order to avoid broken links, I included empty documents
for those which are not yet translated.
In order to be able to refer to all documents in "process/",
I added a sphinx label to those which had not one.
Translated documents:
- howto
- 1.Intro
- clang-format
- coding-style
- kernel-driver-statement
- magic-number
- volatile-considered-harmful
- development-process
