Can you kdocify these and add a respective rst doc file? Maybe stuff your
extensive docs which you are currently adding to
Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt to this new file and in kernel.txt just refer
to it. This way this can be also nicely visibly documented on the web with the
new sphinx.
This way you can take advantage of the kdocs you are already adding and refer
to them.

It would seem this is a unint ... so why not reflect that?

We now have proc_douintvec_minmax().
