I have a different idea: why not just add another regexp to the
kernel-doc house of cards? :) The following seems to make these issues
go away pretty nicely, and didn't cause any change at all to the
media/gpu output...

Stacking up ordering-dependent regexps is not a path to long-term joy; at
some point, we will likely want a smarter parser for kerneldoc comments.
But this seems to improve things for the moment.

Subject: [PATCH] docs: Special-case function-pointer parameters in kernel-doc

Add yet another regex to kernel-doc to trap @param() references separately
and not produce corrupt RST markup.
