Nowadays I want proper docs for new features, and for places where we
missed them thus far they need to be backfilled. Also there's some good
confusion in the review about how this all works together, so better docs
seem called for no matter what to get this in. Instead of just adding all
the explanations to commit messages only I figured it's better to do them
as kerneldoc.
