  Add an extension at Sphinx to allow documenting tests. Such extension
uses a class developed for me to document GPU tests as part of the
IGT test suite: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools

The idea is to keep the test_list.py in sync on both trees, while
adding any kernel-specific logic inside test_kdoc.py.

To avoid mailbombing on a large number of people, only mailing lists were C/C on the cover.

+    Implementation of the ``include-test`` reST-directive.

+
+    The ``include-test`` (:py:class:`ParseTests`) directive calls produces
+    a documentation from KUnit/Kselftests based on the fields described
+    at the config variable below:
+
+        - Feature:
+            Name of the feature to be tested
+
+        - Mega feature:
+            Group of features that are under test
+
+        - Scope:
+            Test scope. Usually, the name of the subsystem where the
+            driver belongs.
+
+        - Description:
+            Description of the feature
+
+    Overview of directive's argument and options.
+
+    .. code-block:: rst
+
+        .. include-test:: <C file>
+            :debug:
+
+    The argument ``<C file>`` is required and should contain the location of
+    a KUnit or Kselftest C file with test documentation.
+
+    ``debug``
+      Inserts a code-block with the *raw* reST. Sometimes it is helpful to see
+      what reST is generated.

+         * @userptr-misaligned-binds:	userptr misaligned
+         */
+
+    It is also possible to define a list of values that will actually be
+    used by the test and no string replacement is needed.
+    This is done by using one or multiple arg[n].values lines:
+
+        /**
+         * SUBTEST: unbind-all-%d-vmas
+         * Description: unbind all with %arg[1] VMAs
+         *
+         * arg[1].values: 2, 8
+         * arg[1].values: 16, 32
+         */
+
+        /**
+         * SUBTEST: unbind-all-%d-vmas
+         * Description: unbind all with %arg[1] VMAs
+         *
+         * arg[1].values: 64, 128
+         */
+
+    Such feature is specially useful for numeric parameters
+
+    The valid `field` values are defined on a JSON configuration file.
+
+    The TEST documents the common fields present on all tests. Typically,
+    each IGT C test file should contain just one such field.
+
+    The SUBTEST contains the fields that are specific to each subtest.
+
+    Note: when igt_simple_main is used, there will be a single nameless
+    subtest. On such case, "SUBTEST:" is still needed, but without a
+    test name on it, e. g., it would be documented as:
+
+        /**
+         * TEST: some test that uses igt_simple_main
+         * Category: Software build block
+         * Sub-category: documentation
+         * Functionality: test documentation
+         * Issue: none
+         * Description: Complete description of this test
+         *
+         * SUBTEST:
+         * Description: do foo things
+         */
+
+    Some IGT tests may have strings or integer wildcards, like:
+        test-%s-%ld-size
+
+    Those are declared using igt_subtest_f() and similar macros.
+
+    The wildcard arguments there need to be expanded. This is done by
+    defining arg[1] to arg[n] at the same code comment that contains the
+    SUBTEST as those variables are locally processed on each comment line.
+
+    This script needs a configuration file, in JSON format, describing the
+    fields which will be parsed for TEST and/or SUBTEST tags.
+
+    An example of such file is:
+
+    {
+        "files": [ "tests/driver/*.c" ],
+        "exclude_files": [ "tests/driver/*-helper.c" ],
+        "fields": {
+            "Category": {
+                "Sub-category": {
+                    "Functionality": {
+                    }
+                }
+            },
+            "Issue": {
+                "_properties_": {
+                    "description": "If the test is used to solve an issue, point to the URL containing the issue."
+                }
+            },
+            "Description" : {
+                "_properties_": {
+                    "description": "Provides a description for the test/subtest."
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+
+    So, the above JSON config file expects tags like those:
+
+    TEST: foo
+    Description: foo
+
+    SUBTEST: bar
+    Category: Hardware
+    Sub-category: EU
+    Description: test bar on EU
+
+    SUBTEST: foobar
+    Category: Software
+    Type: ioctl
+    Description: test ioctls
