[PATCH 00/12] docs: kdoc: thrash up dump_struct()

[Jonathan Corbet]

In my ongoing effort to truly understand our new kernel-doc, I continue to
make changes to improve the code, and to try to make the understanding task
easier for the next person.  These patches focus on dump_struct() in
particular, which starts out at nearly 300 lines long - to much to fit into
my little brain anyway.  Hopefully the result is easier to manage.

There are no changes in the rendered docs.

(At some point I think this code could benefit from a deeper rework.  We
are essentially making three parsing passes over these declarations -
dump_struct(), create_parameter_list(), and push_parameter() for structs -
and it seems like we ought to be able to do better.  But that's for another
day.)

(This is post-merge-window material, obviously).
