I really don't think it needs to be fixed: it's a feature not a bug.  It
requires people writing kernel doc actually to think of one line
summaries.

LSI recently tried to submit a ten line wrapped summary which the
current feature makes it very easy to knock back and say this must be a
single line, so trim it and move the rest to the function description
body.
