So the annoying thing here is that this way it's not picked up by the kerneldoc machinery.
I think what Matt has done is included parameters as an item list in the relevant struct kerneldoc, which seems like the most reasonable thing to do with them.
That means some mild duplication for get/set parts, but since we've made the uapi very asymmetric in that, that's probably a feature.

- The VM id should only be set via I915_CONTEXT_CREATE_EXT_SETPARAM.
- On GPUs with graphics version 12 and earlier, it may also be set via

Again for kerneldoc linking to the struct of the ioctl is probably better, since then you get a link.

Maybe we should push most of the docs for params with structs into the struct's kerneldoc? -Daniel
