Makes sense, though might be a good idea at somepoint to standardize
this in some fashion for the automated docs build.  e.g.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/abi-testing.html#abi-sys-bus-cxl-devices-devtype
+CC Mauro in case he thinks it's worth looking at doing for purposes of
his runtime verification scripts...
