Linux Documentation/CodingStyle mentions following about comments in
chapter 8.

The preferred style for long (multi-line) comments is: 

        /*  
         * This is the preferred style for multi-line
         * comments in the Linux kernel source code.
         * Please use it consistently.
         *   
         * Description:  A column of asterisks on the left side,
         * with beginning and ending almost-blank lines.
         */  

Are we missing something ?
