OK, I've applied this.  Some notes, none of which really require any
action...

It adds a new warning:

  /stuff/k/git/kernel/MAINTAINERS:40416: WARNING: unknown document: ../misc-devices/xilinx_sdfec           

I wonder if it's worth checking to be sure that documents referenced in
MAINTAINERS actually exist.  OTOH, things as they are generate a warning,
which is what we want anyway.

I did various experiments corrupting the MAINTAINERS file and got some
fairly unphotogenic results.  Again, though, I'm not sure that adding a
bunch of code to generate warnings is really worth the trouble.

The resulting HTML file is 3.4MB and definitely makes my browser sweat when
loading it :)

It adds about 20 seconds to a full "make htmldocs" build, which takes just
over 3 minutes on the system in question.  So a 10% overhead, essentially.

All told, it does what it's expected to do.  Thanks for doing this.
