Functions, Structs and Parameters definitions on kernel documentation are pure cosmetic, it only highlights the element. To ease the navigation in the documentation we should use <links> inside those tags so readers can easily jump between methods directly. This was discussed in 2014[1] and is implemented by getting a list of <refentries> from the DocBook XML to generate a database. Then it looks for <function>,<structnames> and <paramdef> tags that matches the ones in the database. As it only links existent references, no broken links are added.

This software reads a XML file and a list of valid interal
references to replace Docbook tags with links.
The list of "valid internal references" must be one-per-line in the following format:
API-struct-foo
API-enum-bar
API-my-function
The software walks over the XML file looking for xml tags representing possible references
to the Document. Each reference will be cross checked against the "Valid Internal Reference" list. If
the referece is found it replaces its content by a tag.
