Running "./scripts/kernel-doc -none include/linux/atomic/atomic-arch-fallback.h"
on the tag emits a lot of warnings.

Looks like there are kernel-doc comments who don't have a corresponding
function signature next to them.

    /**
     * function_name() - Brief description of function.
     * @arg1: Describe the first argument.
     * @arg2: Describe the second argument.
     *        One can provide multiple line descriptions
     *        for arguments.
     *
     * A longer description, with more discussion of the function function_name()
     * that might be useful to those using or modifying it. Begins with an
     * empty comment line, and may include additional embedded empty
     * comment lines.
     */
    int function_name(int arg1, int arg2)  <---

Note that the kernel-doc script ignores #ifdef -- #else.

BTW, I couldn't checkout the tag so downloaded the tar ball via
HTML.

        Thanks, Akira
