Thank you for taking a look at the patch, Petr.

I'm happy to revise the patch to instead add a new `api.rst` file that
contains the `kernel-doc` directive, which would cause `klp_enable_patch()`
in `livepatch.rst` to automatically link to the separate page as you
suggested.

Just to check though -- I see that `shadow-vars.rst` and `system-state.rst`
have their own "API" sections. Is it preferable to add such a section
directly to `livepatch.rst`, rather than creating a separate file?

Let me know either way and I'll send a v2 patch with your preference.

Kind regards,
David
