The idea was to get a sense for what sort of improvements would be
useful, to begin with.  But my attempt to start a discussion on the
kernel summit list appears to have hit the ground pretty hard; I guess
that means I have free rein :)

I expect I'll apply the struct-args doc patch in the fairly near future.
Then we'll see if others complain when patches using it start to show up,
but the feature itself shouldn't break anything.  I'm *really* hoping to
take a hard look at Danilo's stuff for a 4.3 merge as well.  It should be
possible, but there's real-world obnoxiousness that is doing its best to
get in the way.
