Yeah, agreed.

Well, I didn't think much about that... I just ended using a way that is
already used on get_abi.pl, and was originally imported from kernel-doc :-)

It could be using whatever other tag, but I would keep those three scripts 
using a similar markup string for file names and line numbers:

scripts/get_abi.pl:
    printf "#define LINENO %s%s#%s\n\n", $prefix, $file[0], $data{$what}->{line_no};

scripts/kernel-doc:
    print "#define LINENO " . $lineno . "\n";

Thanks,
