This patch tries to improve the display of the code listing on The Linux Kernel documentation website for dma-buf [1] . Originally, it appears that it was attempting to escape the '*' character, but looks like it's not necessary (now), so we are seeing something like '\*' on the webite. This patch removes these unnecessary backslashes and adds syntax highlighting to improve the readability of the code listing.
