I'm afraid the code itself, with inline comments, is always going to
be the most up-to-date and accurate documentation.  The code itself is
constantly changing (usually becoming more complex, unfortunately).
Every time I work with the code again, I usually  need to spend some
time re-familiarizing myself with it.  I find it doubtful that if such
a document existed, it would be significantly less complex than the
code itself.

Perhaps you could start with a specific question (i.e., why does
sh_page_fault() do X?) or a specific goal you're trying to accomplish?
