+Core API Documentation
+======================
+
+This is the beginning of a manual for core kernel APIs.  The conversion
+(and writing!) of documents for this manual is much appreciated!
+
+Core utilities
+==============
+
+This section has general and "core core" documentation.  The first is a
+massive grab-bag of kerneldoc info left over from the docbook days; it
+should really be broken up someday when somebody finds the energy to do
+it.
+
+.. toctree::
+   :maxdepth: 1
+
+   kernel-api
+   workqueue
+   printk-basics
+   printk-formats
+   symbol-namespaces
+
+Data structures and low-level utilities
+=======================================
+
+Library functionality that is used throughout the kernel.
+
+.. toctree::
+   :maxdepth: 1
+
+   kobject
+   kref
+   assoc_array
+   xarray
+   idr

+   rbtree
+   generic-radix-tree
+   packing
+   bus-virt-phys-mapping
+   this_cpu_ops
+   timekeeping
+   errseq
+
+Concurrency primitives
+======================
+
+How Linux keeps everything from happening at the same time.  See
+:doc:`/locking/index` for more related documentation.
+

+   atomic_ops
+   refcount-vs-atomic
+   irq/index

+
+Low-level hardware management
+=============================
+
+Cache management, managing CPU hotplug, etc.

+.. toctree::
+   :maxdepth: 1
+
+   cachetlb
+   cpu_hotplug
+   memory-hotplug

+
+Memory management
+=================
+
+How to allocate and use memory in the kernel.  Note that there is a lot
+more memory-management documentation in :doc:`/vm/index`.

+.. toctree::
+   :maxdepth: 1
