"...underlying kernel paths, such as..." I haven't met a human that
actually uses em-dash and it renders poorly in ascii. Otherwise the
doc looks great. I also realize I posted my most recent patches with
the wrong subject prefix, I should have used "vfio: selftests:". We
could maybe mention such a convention in this doc, but enforcement is
largely manual, and often an afterthought for me. Thanks,
Alex
