That's great. Thanks.

If you open Documentation/output/RCU/stallwarn.html on a web page, you'll find
that my current change is correct. Indented paragraphs are displayed in smaller
fonts. I want the following four sentences to end with a dot. Subparagraphs that
are subordinate to them are additionally indented. So there's no need to use
colons to emphasize it.

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.
