The status quo has is that the KernelDoc is in headers. Generally, if you
change parts that appear to lack framework-wide changes already done, you
do those changes before making other changes since it's a no-brainer.

Which is what this patch represents.

If we end up moving the KernelDoc to .c files moving this back could result
into an extra patch. I'm not too worried about that frankly.
