The VME subsystem graduated from staging into a top-level subsystem in
2012, with commit db3b9e990e ("Staging: VME: move VME drivers out of
staging") stating:
The VME device drivers have not moved out yet due to some API
questions they are still working through, that should happen soon,
hopefully.
However, this never happened: maintenance of drivers/vme effectively
stopped in 2017, with all subsequent changes being treewide cleanups.
No hardware driver remains in staging, only the limited user-level
access, and I just removed one of the two bridge drivers and the only
remaining board.
drivers/staging/vme/devices/ was recently moved to
drivers/staging/vme_user/, but as the vme_user driver is the only one
remaining for this subsystem, it is easier to just move the remaining
three source files into this directory rather than keeping the original
hierarchy.

Update VME documentation given that kerneldoc comments are now provided.
Add "VME API" section to VME RST to pull in kerneldoc comments.

Perform a relatively simple conversion of vme_api.txt to reStructuredText
and move under driver-api, which seems the most logical place for this
documentation.
