"...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,
