It would be a general mechanism, and it would be to document an API.
There are other subsystems that use DECLARE_BITMAP() (e.g., scsi).
Just none at the moment that attempt to describe such a member,
possibly because there isn't a way to document it.  Dunno.  Build it
and they will come.  There is one party that is interested anyway.

Finally did find where this was getting warned about / tossed, in
kernel-doc itself. =)
