I don't have the time for review, but overall this seems like a nice
cleanup. Ack.

As to documentation, I think usually documenting static functions using
kernel-doc is excessive, and a short regular comment might suffice. On
the other hand, the nice documentation doesn't show up anywhere, because
you also need to bolt it to some .rst!
