This would be great -- especially for fledgling kernel developers... I am
currently in the process of figuring out how the kernel all fits together
-- and spend most of my time tracking down procedures/macros/etc... and
then deciphering what they mean.
Unfortunately, some of the procedure names are ambigious, which makes it
hard (at first) to figure out what they do. Sure, they mean something to
current developers -- but they don't mean much who haven't really worked
with the kernel.
