One thing I've toyed around with a bit is that we should add kerneldoc to
our uapi headers and create a DocBook out of it (maybe as a subsection in
the drm userspace api chapter). I guess the DocBook integration needs an
overall approach, but we should start to add comments to each piece of
userspace api to clearly spec them. See below for what I have in mind ...

I'll let you cook up something nice for the other two ;-)
