This is not quite kernel-doc notation (as indicated by the beginning /**).
Please see Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt for details, or ask me

and missing lots of struct members here.
If some of them are private, you can use:

	/* private: */
...
	/* public: */
comments in the struct below and then don't add the private ones to the
kernel-doc notation above.
