What about this question? Or let me ask in another way, what tree is
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ based on?

Yes, I was also wondering hard where to put it... and a book for
user-space developer documentation would likely be the right place, but
it was not there, as you mention ;-)

I'm fine with moving it later under another "book". Linking to it as
HTML would still be the same right? (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/bpf/index.html)
And is the Documentation/bpf/ directory the correct place?
