"the 2d driver" ... "the 3d driver".
Just curious:  Is there only one of each of these?

In the kernel source tree, "/**" means "beginning of kernel-doc notation",
so please don't use it when kernel-doc isn't being used.

and the preferred function format is more like:

DRM_AGP_MEM *drm_agp_bind_page(struct drm_device *dev,
...
(many places)

What uses/processes this comment notation, please?
