Well, I get the difference between E (exported) and I (non-exported)
now.  And I see that one could prepare documents using SGML templates
that contained one, or the other of these, for any kernel source files
of interest.

I'm stuck on the next step of this decision.

Usually, when I am preparing documens, I know what document I am
preparing and have an idea who is in its audience.

I have never seen or heard of a document using the "/**" kernel-doc
entries of kernel/cpuset.c, and I have no idea who actually has (in
the past or present, not just hypothetically) read such or why.

So I'm kinda shootin in the dark here.

So, mostly just to be consistent with my previous call, because I enjoy
being a stubborn retard, I continue to prefer that file static routines
in kernel/cpuset.c not have "/**" kernel-doc markers on their comments,
and I would still welcome a patch from Miao removing the ones already
there.

Enough of this discussion, from me at least.
