Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst has all the information you need.
It could be as simple as replacing your inline descriptions with:

.. kernel-doc:: drivers/iommu/dma-iommu.c
:export:

That will pull in documentation for other, unrelated functions, though;
assuming you don't want those, something like:

.. kernel-doc:: drivers/iommu/dma-iommu.c
:identifiers: dma_iova_try_alloc dma_iova_free ...

Then do a docs build and see the nice results you get :)

Thanks,
