Expanding the massive Cc: with linux-doc list...

Here goes. It's a quick hack from months ago, but still seems to
somewhat work. At least for the kernel-doc parts. The reStructuredText
lint part isn't all that great, and doesn't have mapping to line numbers
like the Sphinx kernel-doc extension does. Anyway I'm happy how this
integrates with kernel build CHECK and C=1/C=2.

I guess Julia's goal is to automate the *fixing* of some of the error
classes from kernel-doc. Not sure how well this could be made to
integrate with any of that.

BR,
Jani.

Subject: [PATCH] kernel-doc-rst-lint: add tool to check kernel-doc and rst
 correctness
Organization: Intel Finland Oy - BIC 0357606-4 - Westendinkatu 7, 02160 Espoo
Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula at intel.com>

Simple kernel-doc and reStructuredText lint tool that can be used
independently and as a kernel build CHECK tool to validate kernel-doc
comments.

Independent usage:
$ kernel-doc-rst-lint FILE

Kernel CHECK usage:
$ make CHECK=scripts/kernel-doc-rst-lint C=1		# (or C=2)

Depends on docutils and the rst-lint package
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/restructuredtext_lint
