Nope, it was Christoph Hellwig. I don't mind changing it. It's just hard
to know what's expected all the time.

Well usually documenting how to use the device is a good thing. Is it
not? The audience would be people wanting to make use of the userspace
interface. Though in fairness, the vast majority of people should use
our library. I also thought it would be useful to reviewers to more
quickly understand the interface we are creating. If maintainers want us
to leave it out, we can, but that seems like an odd request.

Ok, I can push it all into the C file for v2.
