I understand. Then, it doesn't look like we want to keep them in the code
without converting them to kernel-doc. We could either:

1) remove them as part of this series
2) convert them to kernel-doc in the top comment as shown above

I could do either, but my preference is 1) because I think it leads to
clearer docs.
