Single `backtick` quotes are probably not doing what you want.  If
you're looking for it to render in a monospace font, use ``double``
quotes instead.  But I'd also encourage you to keep that to a minimum to
avoid overly cluttering the plain-text document.

Please don't use :c:func:.  If you just write setup_vm(), all the right
magic will happen.

We also really just don't use :c:var: at all.  Kerneldoc doesn't
currently know about global variables...perhaps it should but that's not
the way of things now.
