I'm so sorry! Please ignore all of these false reports on Documentation/DocBook/.

It's a problem with the build script.  Fixed by doing a
"make distclean" after building too old kernels:

        git checkout $some_years_old_kernel
        make htmldocs

        git checkout v3.8
+       make distclean     # bring $KBUILD_OUTPUT/Documentation/DocBook/ out of bad old state
        make htmldocs

Thanks,
Fengguang
