Reported by Johannes Berg [1]. Problem here: function
process_proto_type() concatenates the striped lines of declaration
without any whitespace. A one-liner of::
struct something {
struct foo
bar;
};
has to be::
struct something {struct foo bar;};
Without the patching process_proto_type(), the result missed the space
between 'foo' and 'bar'::
struct something {struct foobar;};
Bugfix of process_proto_type() brings next error when blank lines
between enum declaration::
warning: Enum value ' ' not described in enum 'foo'
Problem here: dump_enum() does not strip leading whitespaces from
the concatenated string (with the new additional space from
process_proto_type).

But the document was changed accordingly. Updating it to a meaningful

BTW, as 'Steven Rostedt' mentioned:
There is still technically a "Pending Owner", it's just not called
that anymore. The pending owner happens to be the top_waiter of a lock
that has no owner and has been woken up to grab the lock.

Currently, on Sphinx up to version 1.4, pdf output uses a vertical
margin of 1 inch. For upper versions, it uses a margin of 0.5 inches.
That causes both page headers and footers to be very close to the margin
of the sheet. Not all printers support writing like that.
Also, there's no reason why the layout for newer versions would be
different than for previous ones.
So, standardize it, by always setting to 1 inch.

RHEL 7.x and clone distros are shipped with Sphinx 1.1.x,
with is incompatible with Kernel ReST markups.
So, on those systems, the only alternative is to install
it via a Python virtual environment.
While seeking for "pip" on CentOS 7.3, I noticed that it
is not really needed, as python-virtualenv has its version
packaged there already. So, remove this from the list of
requirements for all distributions.
With regards to PDF, we need at least texlive-tabulary
extension, but that is not shipped there (at least on
CentOS). So, disable PDF packages as a whole.
Please notice, however, that texlive + amsmath is needed for
ReST to properly handle ReST ".. math::" tags. Yet, Sphinx
fall back to display the LaTeX math expressions as-is, if
such extension is not available.
So, let's just disable all texlive packages as a whole.

Mauro says:
Sphinx installation is not trivial, as not all versions are supported,
and it requires a lot of stuff for math, images and PDF/LaTeX output
to work.
So, add a script that checks if everything is fine, providing
distro-specific hints about what's needed for it to work.
Add support for detecting and installing missing packages
on Mageia. I opted to use "urpmi" at the install instructions,
as this is present on Mageia since ever. Yet, if I were using
Mageia 6, I would likely be using "dnf", as it is, IMHO,
easier to use.
