  (apologies for the spate of recent postings ... just trying to
resolve a bunch of kerneldoc things as i want to use some kerneldoc
manuals in some upcoming classes i'm teaching.)

  i would lean to starting a new manual so as to not interfere with
anyone else's efforts in another manual, and i think there is enough
content to justify a new manual.

  there's already some kerneldoc content in include/linux/of.h and
under drivers/of/ that can be used as a starting point, and i don't
see any of the OF kerneldoc content being referenced in any other
manual -- correct me if i'm wrong.

  is there a boilerplate doc for a new manual? or should i just grab
an existing one and hack it? as a starting point, i'd just include the
kerneldoc that's already there, and add more content over time.
