We've been building up that documentation for years now, not sure where
exactly you've looked in the past ;-)

And to make sure you're looking at the right stuff: Please run

$ make DOCBOOKS="" htmldocs

and then look at Documentation/output/gpu. Otherwise all the kerneldoc
stuff isn't pulled in, and a lot of the overview sections (not just
abi/struct docs) are in there.

And if something looks fishy or doesn't make sense, please raise it here
or on #dri-devel on freenode so that we can improve the docs.
