I don't see a kernel version listed anywhere on the front page
(maybe it depends on what theme is used?) at
https://static.lwn.net/kerneldoc/, so I think it needs something like
this.

The line numbering is probably off a bit, but the big problem is in
using $(KERNELRELEASE). Would using $(version) [with 'version' coming
from conf.py] work here? Nope, that doesn't work either.
