Update the documentation regarding "nohlt" and indicate that it is not
only for bugs, but can be useful to disable the architecture specific
sleep instructions. ARM, ARM64, SuperH and Microblaze all use
CONFIG_GENERIC_IDLE_POLL_SETUP which takes care of honoring the

Previously, a cross-reference to another document could only be created
by writing the full path to the document starting from the
Documentation/ directory.

Extend this to also allow relative paths to be used. A relative path
would be just the path, like ../filename.rst, while the absolute path
still needs to start from Documentation, like Documentation/filename.rst.

As part of this change, the .rst extension is now required for both
types of paths, since not requiring it would cause the regex to be too
generic.

ABS_PRESSURE and ABS_MT_PRESSURE on touch devices usually represent
contact size (as a finger flattens with higher pressure the contact size
increases) and userspace translates the kernel pressure value back into
contact size. For example, libinput has pressure thresholds when a touch is
considered a palm (palm == large contact area -> high pressure). The values
themselves are on an arbitrary scale and device-specific.

On pressurepads however, the pressure axis may represent the real physical
pressure. Pressurepads are touchpads without a hinge but an actual pressure
sensor underneath the device instead, for example the Lenovo Yoga 9i.

A high-enough pressure is converted to a button click by the firmware.
Microsoft does not require a pressure axis to be present, see [1], so as seen
from userspace most pressurepads are identical to clickpads - one button and
INPUT_PROP_BUTTONPAD set.

However, pressurepads that export the pressure axis break userspace because
that axis no longer represents contact size, resulting in inconsistent touch
tracking, e.g. [2]. Userspace needs to know when a pressure axis represents
real pressure and the best way to do so is to define what the resolution
field means. Userspace can then treat data with a pressure resolution as
true pressure.

This patch documents that the pressure resolution is in units/gram. This
allows for fine-grained detail and tops out at roughly ~2000t, enough for the
devices we're dealing with. Grams is not a scientific pressure unit but the
alternative is:
- Pascal: defined as force per area and area is unreliable on many devices and
  seems like the wrong option here anyway, especially for devices with a
  single pressure sensor only.
- Newton: defined as mass * distance/acceleration and for the purposes of a
  pressure axis, the distance is tricky to interpret and we get the data to
  calculate acceleration from event timestamps anyway.

For the purposes of touch devices and digitizers, grams seems the best choice
and the easiest to interpret.

Bonus side effect: we can use the existing hwdb infrastructure in userspace to
fix devices that advertise false pressure.

The kernel-doc markups on this file are weird: they don't
follow what's specified at:

	Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst

In particular, markups should use this format:
        identifier - description

and not this:
	identifier(args)

The way the definitions are inside this file cause the
parser to completely miss the identifier name of each
function.

This prevents improving the script to do some needed validation
tests.

Address this part. Yet, furter changes are needed in order
for it to fully follow the specs.
