Forgot the kernel-doc bikeshed: Please reformat this that it's a proper
rst quoted block for prettier output. See

http://blog.ffwll.ch/2016/12/howto-docs.html

Iirc rst has a different opinion how bold higlighting works, pls double
check this is the right one.

@new_state and @old_state

btw for even more fanciness you could do an example of what a driver's
foo_bar_duplicate_state() function would look like, using this. That would
be even better I think. And maybe s/foo/drv/ for clarity ...

Just ideas, feel free to prettify as you see fit.

Cheers, Daniel
