    Well I'd just have taken the asciidoc hacks I have currently in my
    topic/kerneldoc branch, converted to sphinx and looked how it fares. It
    should be fairly minimal, and I think the first step we want to do for the
    long-term plan. I hope I can ready something, and then we can look whether
    it's rushed for 4.7 or not.

    Thanks, Daniel
