Buffer heads are no longer a generic filesystem API but an optional filesystem support library. Make the documentation structure reflect that, and include the fine documentation kept in buffer_head.h. We could give a better overview of what buffer heads are all about, but my enthusiasm for documenting it is limited.

Buffer Heads
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Linux uses buffer heads to maintain state about individual filesystem blocks.
|
|
Buffer heads are deprecated and new filesystems should use iomap instead.
