I can do that, sure.

It parses the whole file instead of line by line.
It is done in order to match functions that extends
over multiple lines.

Looks for function declarations starting with pvrdma prefix.

Right, enum and structs, but not the functions.
The functions use ib headers we are not interested in.
Since the enum/structs can be used separately ,it seems it
would be better if the header is split, but sadly
is not what's happening today.

It is an interface, but between the device and the guest driver,
not between the guest driver and guest user space.
This is why I didn't move them to the standard-headers in the first place.
We copy once the header with the structs the device receives through the
command channel and then we are protected by the command channel versioning.
(Then we can update the headers when we want to move to another version)

We can ask the maintainers if they agree at least to split the pvrdma_verbs
header. If/when they agree, we can update the script.

Other than the split, is it anything else should I modify
before sending the new version?
