PowerPC FW introduced HVPIPE RTAS calls such as
ibm,send-hvpipe-msg and ibm,receive-hvpipe-msg for the user space
to exchange information with different sources such as Hardware
Management Consoles (HMC).

HVPIPE_IOC_CREATE_HANDLE is defined to use /dev/papr-hvpipe
interface for ibm,send-hvpipe-msg and ibm,receive-hvpipe-msg
RTAS calls.

Also defined papr_hvpipe_hdr which will added in the payload
that is passed between the kernel and the user space.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "It has been a relatively busy cycle for docs, especially the build
  system:

   - The Perl kernel-doc script was added to 2.3.52pre1 just after the
     turn of the millennium. Over the following 25 years, it accumulated
     a vast amount of cruft, all in a language few people want to deal
     with anymore. Mauro's Python replacement in 6.16 faithfully
     reproduced all of the cruft in the hope of avoiding regressions.

     Now that we have a more reasonable code base, though, we can work
     on cleaning it up; many of the changes this time around are toward
     that end.

   - A reorganization of the ext4 docs into the usual TOC format.

   - Various Chinese translations and updates.

   - A new script from Mauro to help with docs-build testing.

   - A new document for linked lists

   - A sweep through MAINTAINERS fixing broken GitHub git:// repository
     links.

  ...and lots of fixes and updates"

The macros table has three columns: the second one is "an" and the
third one writes "an ioctl with ... parameters". Simplify the table
by adding heading row that indicates macro name and accepted
parameters.

Commit 03c9d1a5a30d93 ("Documentation: Fix description format for
powerpc RTAS ioctls") fixes Sphinx warning by chopping arch/ path
component of papr-physical-attestation.h to fit existing "Include File"
column. Now that the column has been widened just enough for that
header file, add back its arch/ path component.

This driver has long outlived it's utility, and it's broken and unloved.
The main use case for this was direct mount with UDF of cd-rw drives
that required 32kb packets. It would collect writes into that size and
write them out in multiples of that. That's not a common use case
anymore, the world has moved on from those kinds of media. To make
matters worse, it's actively breaking setups where it's not even
required or useful.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "A moderately busy cycle for documentation this time around:

   - The most significant change is the replacement of the old
     kernel-doc script (a monstrous collection of Perl regexes that
     predates the Git era) with a Python reimplementation. That, too, is
     a horrifying collection of regexes, but in a much cleaner and more
     maintainable structure that integrates far better with the Sphinx
     build system.

     This change has been in linux-next for the full 6.15 cycle; the
     small number of problems that turned up have been addressed,
     seemingly to everybody's satisfaction. The Perl kernel-doc script
     remains in tree (as scripts/kernel-doc.pl) and can be used with a
     command-line option if need be. Unless some reason to keep it
     around materializes, it will probably go away in 6.17.

     Credit goes to Mauro Carvalho Chehab for doing all this work.

   - Some RTLA documentation updates

   - A handful of Chinese translations

   - The usual collection of typo fixes, general updates, etc"
