It's required by reStructuredText Markup Specification.

Indented Literal Blocks
Indented literal blocks are indicated by indentation relative to the
surrounding text (leading whitespace on each line). The literal block
ends with the end of the indentation.

The surrounding text need to be indented, relative to the paragraphs
above and below it and at the same level.

OK, thanks.

OK, it might look better to delete it.

The text in literal block is treated as plain text.

This makes the style inconsistent when viewed on the web page. So I decided not
to change it.

Take your advice and the end result will be as follows: (1 and 4 followed by a
colon, 2 and 4 followed by a dot)

1. A CPU looping with interrupts disabled:
2. A CPU looping with bottom halves disabled.
3. A CPU looping with preemption disabled.
4. No looping, but massive hard and soft interrupts:
