Good point!

Ups, I might have overseen this patch .. as Jon said, its hard to
follow you ;)

I tested the above with Jon's docs-next, so it seems your patch is
not yet applied. Could you send me a link for this patch? (sorry,
I can't find it).

No ;)

The intention is; with installing the linuxdoc project you get
some nice command line tools, like lint for free and if you want
to see how the linuxdoc project compiles your kernel documentation
and how e.g. man pages are build or what warnings are spit, you
have to **replace** the extensions from the kernel's source with
the one from the linuxdoc project.

This is done by patching the build scripts as described in:

  https://return42.github.io/linuxdoc/linux.html

FYI: I updated the documentation of the linuxdoc project.

In this project I develop and maintain "future" concepts like
man-page builder and the py-version of the kernel-doc parser. 
Vice versa, every improvement I see on kernel's source tree is
merged into this project.

This project is also used by my POC at:

* http://return42.github.io/sphkerneldoc/

E.g. it builds the documentation of the complete kernel sources

* http://return42.github.io/sphkerneldoc/linux_src_doc/index.html

the last one is also my test-case to find regression when I change
something / running against the whole source tree and compare the
result to the versioned reST files at 

* https://github.com/return42/sphkerneldoc/tree/master/doc/linux_src_doc
