Converting ABI files to rst could be easily done using a modified
version of my script (plus the produced files will likely need some
manual review).

There is a drawback though: we'll lose the capability of being able
to parse ABI files via an script, as people would be freed to use a
different syntax.

We could minimize it by using things like:

:What:
:Kernel Version:
...

If you prefer something like that, I can write the patches.
