Yes I'm aware that sphinx it's WARNINGs when doing a partially
rebuild, this is something entirely different. I didn't get more or
less warnings this way, but keep_warning = True seems to be the only
way to get reasonable information about them. Without that I get
warnings (for included kernel-doc) where the source file is the .rst
file that pulls in the kernel doc, and the line number is entirely
bogus (often past the end of the containing .rst).

With this I can at least then open the generated .html file, search
for the System Message and figure out (by looking at the surrounding
context) where the error really is from.

Strangely this only happens for WARNING. If I manged the kerneldoc
enough to upset sphinx into generating an ERROR, the line numbers and
source files are correct.

See patch 2/2 in this series for examples of such WARNINGs: Mostly
it's unbalanced _ * or `` annotations that confuse sphinx/rst a bit.
If you want to play around with the gpu sphinx conversion to reproduce
these locall you can grab the drm-intel-nightly branch from

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel

It already includes Jon's latest docs-next branch.

Cheers, Daniel
