Subject: [PATCH][kerneldoc] Remove non-functional DocBook "!D" tag
Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2015 06:06:45 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.11.1502030557430.11504@localhost> (raw)


Remove the description of the apparently long non-functional "!D"
kerneldoc directive, and the single place under DocBook that refers to
it, which is simply commented out, anyway. If someone someday wants to
make that directive functional, then a description of it can be added
back in.

  the warning that "!D" functionality is "not perfect" goes back to
2008, so it's fairly clear that no one is going to miss it.
