So this seems just like what the doctor ordered - nice!

One little thought that has crossed my mind: it might be nice to be able to
put a regex in :functions: so we could say something like:

    :functions: atomic_.*

That requires a kernel-doc tweak too, of course.  Someday.

Might it be worth running this by the Sphinx list just to see what they
have to say?
