[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 0/7] SUPPORT.md: Distinguish descriptions from caveats

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The new support matrix output puts a [*] after each entry in the
support matrix in many cases where the linked-to text is simply a
longer description of the feature.

Remedy this by distinguishing text which expands on a feature
description from text which qualifies its support status.

There are 3 patches to processing machinery, followed by two patches
to SUPPORT.md (one to make the distinction, throughout, and one to
document it); followed by two patches to fix a bug (logically these
should come first, but rebasing them is annoying).

The patches to SUPPORT.md would ideally go to 4.10 too.

Example output:
