  hmmmmmm ... i seem to be able to generate the docs out of tree just
fine. i'll check again and make sure. all i'm doing is setting:

  $ export KBUILD_OUTPUT=<dest dir>

and running

  $ make docs

and the sphinx-based documentation appears to be created just fine in
that output/build directory. am i misunderstanding something here?
