When the Kernel started to use Sphinx, we had to come up with a solution to parse media headers. On that time, we didn't have much experience with Sphinx extensions. So, we came up with our own script-based solution that were basically implementing a set of rules we used to have at the Makefile. Convert it to Python, keeping it bug-compatible with the original script. While here, try to better document it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
