Patrick,
I have applied your patch and moved in the direction
that Mike has suggested. The functions headers have been
cleaned up so they go through the "!E" filter.
The attachment contains the following files:
   Documentation/DocBook/Makefile
   Documentation/DocBook/scsidrivers.tmpl
   drivers/scsi/scsi_mid_low_api.txt

It would be wise to take a copy of your tree's
Documentation/DocBook/Makefile before untarring in
your source tree. Then (if the docbook packages are
installed on your box) "make htmldocs" in the
/usr/src/linux directory should built multi-page html
in the /usr/src/linux/Documentation/DocBook/scsidrivers/
directory. "make psdocs" and "make pdfdocs" should also
work although the latter breaks with my toolset.

BTW the Makefile above was borrowed from 2.5.9-dj1 .
