I'm hoping to start feeding our docs into the AI review tools, instead
of maintaining a separate repo with review prompts. To experiment with
that we have to refresh the docs a little bit.

This set exclusively focuses on the page pool API. First patch is
a straightforward fix for information which is now out of date.
Second one attempts to clarify the NAPI linking requirements.
Third drops the dedicated section about the stats; the document
is primarily developer-facing and the stats should require no
development effort in most cases. Last but not least minor
API cleanup.

Jakub Kicinski (4):
  docs: net: page_pool: drop reference to removed PP_FLAG_PAGE_FRAG
  docs: clarify page pool NAPI consumer requirement
  docs: page_pool: drop the mention of the legacy stats API
  net: make page_pool_get_stats() void
