Sure, Sphinx (including kernel-doc) build and rust doca build are
independent. Yet, Makefile "htmldocs" target currently does both. 

It could make sense to have a separate target if one want to build
them both, e.g. something like:

    make rustdoc - builds just rust docs
    make htmldocs - builds all non-rust docs
    make allhtmldocs - makes both

On other words, we could add a rule like:

    rusthtmldocs: rustdoc htmldocs

and simplify the makefile and the wrapper.

PS.: I'm using "allhtmldocs" just to make clear about what
     I meant. Not sure if this would be the best name for the
     joint html output target.
