Intel video hardware generations
Generate developer docs with Sphinx An effort was started some time ago to consolidate all internal documentation in the git tree. However, this was just an accumulation of files in various formats without any strucutre or way to browse it, which results in no one even knowing that we have docs here. This converts most of the files to restructuredtext and uses Sphinx to generate an HTML browsable user manual (with a table of content and a first attempt to put things in a global hierarchy). There are almost no changes to the documentation content in this commit (some obviously obsolete things were removed). The plan is to get the toolchain up and running to make these docs easily available, and only then see about improving the content. We can migrate some things off the wiki and website, and rework the table of contents to have some more hierarchy levels because currently it's a bit messy.

This file summarizes the different generations of Intel hardware, because the
naming is a bit inconsistent and it's hard to follow which is which sometimes.
The devices can be referred to by year of introduction, generation number,
chipset commercial number, or internal codenames.
Generation 1
============
These are the i740 and i810 devices handled by intel_810. No further info will
be provided here.

This is the first generation to be documented at intellinuxgraphics.org.
Generation 2 devices are quite similar for the modesetting part, but not
identical.

Westmere / Clarkdale, Arrandale / Iron Lake / Ibex Peak
Switches from the traditional northbridge / southbridge to the new
"platform control hub" design. Essentially, most of the northbridge functions
are now directly in the CPU package.

Ivy Bridge / Panther Point and Haswell / Lynx Point
A lot of the video output hardware is moved from the northbridge (CPU) to the
PCH. This makes sense because it allows to match the PCH chipset (soldered on
to the motherboard) with the video ports (also soldered there). Otherwise, the
CPU generation would define which ports are usable or not.
This impacts several things in the modesetting sequence, as well as the address
of the registers which are moved.
This is also the first generation to support 3 independant displays, which
also impacts the register layout in many places.
