Atm properties are documented in kernel-doc since they don't exist at all
in the uapi. Well this here is somewhat an exception, since there's
structs in uapi. But since nothing else in uapi thus far is reasonably
documented I still think we should keep it in the kernel-doc for now. At
least until someone starts taggling uapi docs properly ...
