If there's nothing to cross-reference to (i.e. no kerneldoc comments)
then the reference obviously won't be generated.  I would still ask that
you leave out the literal markers; they will block linking to any docs
added in the future, and they clutter up the text - the plain-text reading
experience is important too.

Thanks,
