Yeah atm we're doing a bad job of keeping the kapi and uapi parts
separate. But the plan at least is to move all the gpu related uapi stuff
into Documentation/gpu/drm-uapi.rst. Not sure there's value in moving that
out of the gpu folder ...

Oh definitely not asking for moving them at the same time, just wondering
how this should be solved properly.
