I think the convention here is to keep two new lines after a Section.

(the last part is not necessarily true is it? It's only a best bet,

You also need to add something about the features here:
The kvm_vcpu_init->features bitmap will have feature bits set if the
preferred target recommends setting these features, but this is not
required.
