dis_ucode_ldr was introduced in 65cef131 ("x86, microcode: Add a disable
chicken bit") and will disable microcode loading on x86.  This kernel
parameter is buried in the code and should be added to the Documentation.

Functions, Structs and Parameters definitions on kernel documentation
are pure cosmetic, it only highlights the element.

To ease the navigation in the documentation we should use <links> inside
those tags so readers can easily jump between methods directly.

This was discussed in 2014[1] and is implemented by getting a list
of <refentries> from the DocBook XML to generate a database. Then it looks
for <function>,<structnames> and <paramdef> tags that matches the ones in
the database. As it only links existent references, no broken links are
added.

Some kernel-doc sections are included in multiple DocBook files.  This
means the mandocs target will generate the same manual page multiple
times with different metadata (author name/address and manual title,
taken from the including DocBook file).  If it's invoked in a parallel
build, the output is non-determinstic.

Build the manual pages in a separate subdirectory per DocBook file,
then sort and de-duplicate when installing them (which is serialised).

Describing arguments at top of a struct definition works fine
for small/medium size structs, but it definitely doesn't work well
for struct with a huge list of elements.

Keeping the arguments list inside the struct body makes it easier
to maintain the documentation.
ie:
/**
 * struct my_struct - short description
 * @A: first member
 * @b: second member
 *
 * Longer description
 */
struct my_struct {
    int a;
    int b;
    /**
     * @c: This is longer description of C
     *
     * You can use paragraphs to describe arguments
     * using this method.
     */
    int c;
};

This patch allows the use of this kind of syntax. Only one argument
per comment and user can use how many paragraphs he needs. It should
start with /**, which is already being used by kernel-doc. If those
comment doesn't follow those rules, it will be ignored.

Some kernel-doc sections are included in multiple DocBook files.  This
means the mandocs target will generate the same manual page multiple
times with different metadata (author name/address and manual title,
taken from the including DocBook file).  If it's invoked in a parallel
build, the output is nondeterminstic.

For each section that is duplicated, mark the less specific manual's
inclusion as 'extra' and exclude it during conversion to manual pages.
Use xmlif for this, as that is bundled with xmlto which we already
use.

I would have preferred to use more conventional markup for this, but
each of the following approaches failed:

1. Wrap the extra inclusions with a new element and add a template to
   the stylesheet to include/exclude them.  Unfortunately DocBook XSL
   doesn't seem to support foreign elements at an intermediate level
   in the document tree.
2. Use DocBook profiling.  This works but requires passing an absolute
   path to the profile stylesheet to xmlto, so it's not portable.
3. Use SGML marked sections.  docbook2x can handle these but xmlto
   chokes on them.

Regular expressions for highlights in kernel-doc are stored in a Perl
hash.  These hashes are ordered differently for each Perl run. This will
prevent kernel-doc to behave deterministically when parsing “@foo()” as
in some runs it will be interpreted as a parameter and in the others it
will be interpreted as a function.

We now sort the %highlights hash to get the same behavior on every run.
