This one, too, is already fixed in docs-next. If you're doing
documentation work, please work against that tree.

Also, "fix a warning" is almost never an appropriate subject line for any
kernel patch. You're not fixing a warning, you're fixing some broken RST
in the file. The subject line on the patch I merged fixing this problem
reads:

docs: virt/kvm: close inline string literal

...which describes what is really going on.

Thanks,
