check out the man page for man itself (man man)

look for this:

9   Kernel routines [Non standard]



You may need to install them (man 9 files) as they may not be installed

###### example

john at vega:~/download/koans$ man -k printk
printk (9)           - print a kernel message
printk_timed_ratelimit (9) - caller-controlled printk ratelimiting
snd_printd (9)       - debug printk
snd_printdd (9)      - debug printk
snd_printk (9)       - printk wrapper
trace_printk (9)     - printf formatting in the ftrace buffer
