Generate HTML via make4ht (#20) 
This patch generates HTML files with "make4ht" in the "html" directory.

Known issues with "make4ht":
Running "make4ht -suf html5 -d html lkmpg.tex" will cause the following
flaws:
1. The layout was unsatisfying.
2. After parsing TeX, it stoped at "\tableofcontents" with errors.
3. Several unneeded files were generated.
4. No way to specify the destination filename for HTML generation.

Solutions/workaround:
1. Use customized configuration file "html.cfg" to specify the layout style.
2. Turn off the \tableofcontents section when using make4ht. However, this
    results in the lack of table of contents in HTML. It can be fixed by
    appending "\Configure{tableofcontents*}{chapter,section,subsection}"
    to configuration file.
3. The build system removes the temporary files.
4. Use a symbolic link "index.html" to "lkmpg.html".

The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide

This project keeps the Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide reasonably up to date, with working examples for recent 5.x kernel versions.
The guide has been around since 2001 and most copies of it on the web only describe old 2.6.x kernels.

The original guide may be found at http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/
