These days, it's a good idea to go ahead and draft that up early. You'll
be surprised what sort of details you notice once you have to start
writing documentation. ;)

You can post it as part of this set on the next posting and just mention
that it's a draft manpage patch. You should also include the linux-api
mailing list on the next posting so we get some feedback on the
interface itself.
