While creating a new monitor in RV, besides generating code from dot2k, there are a few manual steps which can be tedious and error prone, like adding the tracepoints, makefile lines and kconfig. This patch restructures the existing monitors to keep some files in the monitor's folder itself, which can be automatically generated by future versions of dot2k. Monitors have now their own Kconfig and tracepoint snippets. For simplicity, the main tracepoint definition, is moved to the RV directory, it defines only the tracepoint classes and includes the monitor-specific tracepoints, which reside in the monitor directory. Tracepoints and Kconfig no longer need to be copied and adapted from existing ones but only need to be included in the main files. The Makefile remains untouched since there's little advantage in having a separated Makefile for each monitor with a single line and including it in the main RV Makefile.

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.
