The kernel-doc.rst guide seems to indicate that function names should
have () at the end - but none of them do so within this file.  (only when
talking about the function in the document).

The %CONST indicates name of a constant - I'm unclear whether this is
supposed to refer to a constant parameter.  For example:

/**
 *      __skb_peek - peek at the head of a non-empty &sk_buff_head
 *      @list_: list to peek at
 *
 *      Like skb_peek(), but the caller knows that the list is not empty.
 */
static inline struct sk_buff *__skb_peek(const struct sk_buff_head *list_)
{
        return list_->next;
}
