The kernel-include directive is needed to include the auto generated rst content from a build (pre-) process. E.g. the linux_tv Makefile generates intermediate reST-files from header files. Since there is a O= option: make O=dir [targets] Locate all output files in "dir" We need to include intermediate reST files from arbitrary (O=/tmp/foo) locations: The 'kernel-include' reST-directive is a replacement for the 'include' directive. The 'kernel-include' directive expand environment variables in the path name and allows to include files from arbitrary locations. .. hint:: Including files from arbitrary locations (e.g. from '/etc') is a security risk for builders. This is why the 'include' directive from docutils *prohibit* pathnames pointing to locations *above* the filesystem tree where the reST document with the include directive is placed. Substrings of the form $name or ${name} are replaced by the value of environment variable name. Malformed variable names and references to non-existing variables are left unchanged. Signed-off-by:
