What do you mean by ".tmpl workflow"?

I'd be *very* hesitant about adding the kind of things you do in
reformat_block_rst to kernel-doc. IMO the extraction from kernel-doc
comments must be as simple as possible with basically pass-through of
the comment blocks to sphinx. Specifically, do not attempt to detect and
parse elements like lists in kernel-doc.
