commit 3231dd5862779c2e15633c96133a53205ad660ce upstream.
The kernel-abi directive passes its argument straight to the shell.
This is unfortunate and unnecessary.
Let's always use paths relative to $srctree/Documentation/ and use
subprocess.check_call() instead of subprocess.Popen(shell=True).
This also makes the code shorter.

Now that the stable ABI files are compatible with ReST,
parse them without converting complex descriptions as literal
blocks nor escaping special characters.
Please notice that escaping special characters will probably
be needed at descriptions, at least for the asterisk character.

As we don't want a generic Sphinx extension to execute commands,
change the one proposed to Markus to call the abi_book.pl
script.
Use a script to parse the Documentation/ABI directory and output
it at the admin-guide.
