Subject: kbuild: separate kerneldoc warnings from compiler warnings
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Precedence: bulk

This patch introduces a new build flag 'K=1' which controls whether kerneldoc
warnings should be issued, separating them from the compiler warnings that W=
controls.
