===================
These have nothing to with man-pages. They are documentation
of in-kernel APIs, built from specially formatted comments in
the kernel source. After installing the required software, these
pages can be built from a kernel source tree using the command
'make mandocs'; see the kernel source file Documentation/HOWTO
for more information.
