description

OK, this patch works (that is, scripts/kernel-doc does not complain).

The documented character to use after a function name is '-', not ':'. So

* smp_call_function_many_cond() - Run a function on a set of CPUs

and

* smp_call_function_many() - Run a function on a set of other CPUs.

are preferable.
