The old document for usbip protocol is misleading and hard to read:
* Some fields in header are incorrect
* Explanation of some fields are unclear or even wrong
* Padding of header (namely all headers have the same length) is
not explicitly pointed out, which is crucial for stream protocol
like TCP
Major changes:
* Document the correct field as described in the codebase.
* Document the padding in usbip headers. This is crucial for TCP
stream hence these padding should be explicitly point out.
In code these padding are implemented by a union of all headers.
* Fix two FIXME related to usbip unlink and Document the behavior
of unlink in different situation.
* Clarify some field with more accurate explanation, like those
fields associated with URB. Some constraints are extracted from
code.
* Delete specific transfer_flag doc in usbip as it should be
documented by the URB doc in Documentation/driver-api/usb/URB.rst
* Add data captured from wire as example

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
