This patch series introduces a framework for formally specifying kernel
APIs, addressing the long-standing challenge of maintaining stable
interfaces between the kernel and user-space programs. As outlined in
previous discussions about kernel ABI stability, the lack of
machine-readable API specifications has led to inadvertent breakages and
inconsistent validation across system calls and IOCTLs.

Ugg, looks horrid.
Going to be worse than things like doxygen for getting out of step with
the actual code and grep searches are going to hit the comment blocks.
