Add a reference to my new book, The Linux Memory Manager, an in-depth exploration of the memory management subsystem, to process/kernel-docs.rst. This is not yet published, but the full draft is available on pre-order, so it seems worthwhile adding it here. The situation is made clear in the 'notes' section. The 'pre-release' was made available in February 2025, and full release is scheduled for Fall 2025. The book's ISBN-13 is 978-1718504462. The document will be updated upon release to reflect this.

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 reStructuredText 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.
