Subject: [PATCH v2 15/24] docs: kernel_include.py: remove range restriction for gen docs

Originally, parse-readers were generating an output where
the first two lines were setting a literal block.

The script now gets only the actual parsed data without that,
so it is now safe to allow start-line and end-line parameters
to be handled.
