kernel-doc: add support for ____cacheline_aligned attribute

Subroutine dump_struct uses type attributes to check if the struct
syntax is valid. Then, it removes all attributes before using it for
output. `____cacheline_aligned` is an attribute that is

Based on previous patch to add ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp.
Motivated by patches to reorder this attribute to before the
variable name.   Whilst we could do that in all cases, that would
be a massive change and it is more common in the kernel to place
this particular attribute after the variable name. A quick grep

Documentation: clarify driver licensing rules

Greg has challenged some recent driver submitters on their license
choices. He was correct to do so, as the choices in these instances
did not always advance the aims of the submitters.

But, this left submitters (and the folks who help them pick licenses)
a bit confused. They have read things like
Documentation/process/license-rules.rst which says:

individual source files can have a different license
which is required to be compatible with the GPL-2.0

and Documentation/process/submitting-drivers.rst:

We don't insist on any kind of exclusive GPL licensing,
and if you wish ... you may well wish to release under
multiple licenses.

As written, these appear a _bit_ more laissez faire than we've been in
practice lately. It sounds like we at least expect submitters to make
a well-reasoned license choice and to explain their rationale. It does
not appear that we blindly accept anything that is simply
GPLv2-compatible.

Drivers appear to be the most acute source of misunderstanding, so fix
the driver documentation first. Update it to clarify expectations.

pmd_alloc_one() but it missed the fact that parisc uses order-1 pages for

Restore the original version of pmd_alloc_one() for parisc, just use
