💅 qed_vf_pf_bulletin_update_mac(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 🎀

okay so real talk, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (yes the header literally gets cut off as qed_vf_pf_b...n_update_mac(9) — she's mysterious, she's truncated, she ate 💀), and it's all about one tiny icon function. Let's get into it bestie 🦋
