So, in docs-next, applying this *adds* two warnings:

> ./include/net/page_pool/types.h:77: warning: Function parameter or struct member 'fast' not described in 'page_pool_params'
> ./include/net/page_pool/types.h:77: warning: Function parameter or struct member 'slow' not described in 'page_pool_params'

In truth, the warnings look correct.  I guess I'll leave this applied,
but perhaps a fix for the warnings should go into the net tree?

Thanks,
