Hi Jon, This series contain 3 patches for kernel-doc: Patch 1 creates a kernel doc class at the beginning of kerneldoc Sphinx module and preserves it. With that, some caching is enabled; Patch 2 fixes some permissions; Patch 3 is mostly a cleanup patch to simplify a little bit the complex parser. On my tests here, it runs about 10 seconds faster on my machine and I didn't notice any regressions. I guess there are still space to optimize the cache, but I don't want to do too much optimization on a single series. Please also notice that I didn't check the amount of memory that it is now consumed storing the entire kernel-doc data on a dictionary. I assume it is not that much, as I can still compile docs on my 16GB laptop.
