Overall, looks pretty good.

Comments:

1) As the author of tulip-user and via-audio docbooks, I can say that
they are out of date and should be deleted.


2) Very happy to see conversion to XML.


3) In general, I'm happy that someone is giving the docbook docs some love.


4) Occasionally code movement (not just comment updates) are required,
such as:

Although I do not NAK this change, I am curious if kernel-doc can be
fixed so that this sort of change is not necessary.


5) Although it is a pain to do this in BitKeeper, now that you've
checked everything in, it might be better to send the code changes via
the individual maintainers.


6) I would feel more comfortable if this spent some time in Andrew
Morton's -mm, before going upstream.

Regards,

Jeff
