Besides the parameters that are passed via command line arguments,
the wrapper's behavior is affected by several environment variables.

Document that. While here, use __doc__ for its description.

+Besides the command line arguments, several environment variables affect its
+default behavior, meant to be used when called via Kernel Makefile:
+
+- KERNELVERSION:  Kernel major version
+- KERNELRELEASE:  Kernel release
+- KBUILD_VERBOSE: Contains the value of "make V=[0|1] variable.
+                  When V=0 (KBUILD_VERBOSE=0), sets verbose level to "-q".
+- SPHINXBUILD:    Documentation build tool (default: "sphinx-build").
+- SPHINXOPTS:     Extra options pased to SPHINXBUILD
+                  (default: "-j auto" and "-q" if KBUILD_VERBOSE=0).
+                  The "-v" flag can be used to increase verbosity.
+                  If V=0, the first "-v" will drop "-q".
+- PYTHON3:        Python command to run SPHINXBUILD
+- PDFLATEX:       LaTeX PDF engine. (default: "xelatex")
+- LATEXOPTS:      Optional set of command line arguments to the LaTeX engine
+- srctree:        Location of the Kernel root directory (default: ".").
