That's the tool for extracting the data which
page-owner-tracking-leak-detector.patch produces.  There's no obvious place
to put it, really.  It could be in scripts/ I guess.

Consider it compilable documentation ;)

It's simple - if you want page_owner documentation you can just read
the source code ;)

Yes, I did take a look at what it was, I was just wondering why it was
put in the Documentation/ dir.  Just seemed a little odd location to
me.
But OK, it's considered documentation, no problem :)
