Nah, it is not that complex ;-)
It has 628 lines of code; kernel-doc has 2488. It is 1/4 the size of
kernel-doc :-D
Btw, 20 lines can be removed from it, if we drop support for --no-rst-source.
I almost dropped it this time :-)
Ah, the entire code that outputs the rst description and does the
xref has just 34 lines (with 5 lines with comments and 5 blank lines).
It is not much, and some cleanups could be done to make it a little
shorter.
Most of the script complexity is actually at the parsing part. The
thing is that the ABI files are somewhat free-style: some files
don't strictly follow the format, which requires some extra steps in
order to cope with some "soft" violations, as well as to report
problems when the violation is more severe.

Yes, I guess we can move the Xref code to automarkup some day,
that is if we can ensure that get_abi.pl will run before automarkup.
There's currently an issue, though. We need first to get rid of those
duplicated symbols:
