This patch series serves to introduce a documentation for kernel script
checkpatch.pl (scripts/checkpatch.pl).

A top level tools directory has been created in docs which shall contain
the documentation related to the kernel tools and scripts.

This documentation shall be progressively updated by future patches to
document all the message types in checkpatch. Consecutively this
documentation itself will be parsed by checkpatch to generate verbose
messages.
