Hy Tobin,

Just FYI about reST Markup (no need to fix anything in your patch).

You can also add '::' (the markup for literal blocks) at the last line of the
previous paragraph, e.g:

<snip>---
Booting a VM with the above configuration will result in the following 3
netdevs created in the VM.::

4: ens10: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP
group default qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:00:12:53 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
<snap>---

IMO its more readable in plain text. Anyway it is not wrong to add '::' in a
separated new line ... and thanks for your patch.

If you have any doubt about reST markup, I recommend the primer from the Sphinx
project:

http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/rest.html

and the quickref from the (underlying) docutils project:

http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html
