Hi Jon,
This small patch comes after this series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/cover.1769673038.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org/T/#t
It is goal is to help syncing kernel-doc with QEMU, as we're using
it there as well for documentations. Yet, QEMU needs to have their
own set of function macros. This change makes easy to override it
at the caller script.

While the main goal for kernel-doc is to be used inside the Linux
Kernel, other open source projects could benefit for it. That's
currently the case of QEMU, which has a fork, mainly due to two
reasons:
- they need an extra C function transform rule;
- they handle the html output a little bit different.
Add an extra optional argument to make easier for the code to be
shared, as, with that, QEMU can just create a new derivated class
that will contain its specific rulesets, and just copy the
remaining kernel-doc files as-is.
