Subject: [ANN] improvements to running nipa checks locally

Hi!

We are growing the number of patchwork checks, so it's getting
increasingly tedious to manually validate everything before posting
patches. (*cough* kernel-doc)

I have polished the ingest_mdir.py script in nipa:

https://github.com/linux-netdev/nipa?tab=readme-ov-file#running-locally

It works fairly well for me. If anyone has tried to use it before
and gave up -- it may be a good time to give it another go.
Feedback and patches most welcome.

The allmodconfig builds it does take some time, so don't expect 
it to be fast.. :)
