Currently, LKMM docs are not included in any of kernel documentation
books.
Commit e40573a43d ("docs: put atomic*.txt and memory-barriers.txt
into the core-api book") covered plain-text docs under Documentation/
by using the "include::" directive along with the ":literal:" option.
As LKMM docs are not under Documentation/, the same approach would not
work due to the directive's restriction.
As a matter of fact, kernel documentation has an extended directive
by the name of "kernel-include::", which loosens such restriction and
accepts any files under the kernel source tree.
Rather than moving LKMM docs around, use the latter and pull them into
the dev-tools book next to KCSAN.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
