The read-the-docs theme is not entirely attractive and doesn't give us control over the left column. "Alabaster" is deemed the default Sphinx theme, it is currently maintained and shipped bundled with Sphinx itself, so there is no need to install it separately. Switch over to this theme as the default for building kernel documentation; the DOCS_THEME environment variable can still be used to select a different theme.

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.
