Including documentation blocks in source files
----------------------------------------------

To facilitate having source code and comments close together, you can
include kernel-doc documentation blocks that are free-form comments
instead of being kernel-doc for functions, structures, unions,
enums, or typedefs. This could be used for something like a
theory of operation for a driver or library code, for example.

This is done by using a DOC: section keyword with a section title. E.g.:

/**
* DOC: Theory of Operation
*
* The whizbang foobar is a dilly of a gizmo. It can do whatever you
* want it to do, at any time. It reads your mind. Here's how it works.
*
* foo bar splat
*
* The only drawback to this gizmo is that is can sometimes damage
* hardware, software, or its subject(s).
*/

DOC: sections are used in SGML templates files as indicated below.
