    bpf,docs: Create new standardization subdirectory · 4d496be9
    David Vernet authored
    The BPF standardization effort is actively underway with the IETF. As
    described in the BPF Working Group (WG) charter in [0], there are a
    number of proposed documents, some informational and some proposed
    standards, that will be drafted as part of the standardization effort.
    
    [0]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/bpf/about/
    
    Though the specific documents that will formally be standardized will
    exist as Internet Drafts (I-D) and WG documents in the BPF WG
    datatracker page, the source of truth from where those documents will be
    generated will reside in the kernel documentation tree (originating in
    the bpf-next tree).
    
    Because these documents will be used to generate the I-D and WG
    documents which will be standardized with the IETF, they are a bit
    special as far as kernel-tree documentation goes:
    
    - They will be dual licensed with LGPL-2.1 OR BSD-2-Clause
    - IETF I-D and WG documents (the documents which will actually be
      standardized) will be auto-generated from these documents.
    
    In order to keep things clearly organized in the BPF documentation tree,
    and to make it abundantly clear where standards-related documentation
    needs to go, we should move standards-relevant documents into a separate
    standardization/ subdirectory.
