Hey Rob/Johannes.

I renamed kernel/printk.c to a separate directory and
got warned about docproc.c not finding this file anymore.

These entries seem very arbitrary.
(Also, I've never seen, nor cared about, them before)

Any way to autogenerate this .tmpl file?

No way that I can think of that actually makes it simpler. Sure, you 
could put a tag into each file and then use the tag, but what's the 
point? The filename is also just a tag. Also, the tmpl files actually 
contain content (if only just structure). I don't know which one links 
printk.c, but look at other ones, e.g. the 802.11 one.
