+Driver implementer's API guide
+==============================
+
+The kernel offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development
+of device drivers. This document is an only somewhat organized collection
+of some of those interfaces — it will hopefully get better over time! The
+available subsections can be seen below.
+
+
+General information for driver authors
+======================================
+
+This section contains documentation that should, at some point or other, be
+of interest to most developers working on device drivers.
