Hmm. You are going to have an awful lot of those ____cacheline_aligned ones.

Might be worth thinking about whether we fix kernel-doc to cope with those.

A quick grep suggests the vast majority of users of this have it after
the element name.

@Jon Corbet :  What do you think?  Looks like there is special
handling already for ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp. Should we extend
that to this case?
