2020-02-12docs: virt: guest-halt-polling.txt convert to ReSTMauro Carvalho Chehab
Due to some merge conflict, this file ended being alone under Documentation/virtual. The file itself is almost at ReST format. Just minor adjustments are needed: - Adjust title markup; - Adjust a list identation; - add a literal block markup; - Add some blank lines.

2020-02-12docs: virt: convert UML documentation to ReSTMauro Carvalho Chehab
Despite being an old document, it contains lots of information that could still be useful. The document has a nice style with makes easy to convert to ReST. So, let's convert it to ReST. This patch does: - Use proper markups for titles; - Mark and proper indent literal blocks; - don't use an 'o' character for lists; - other minor changes required for the doc to be parsed.

2019-07-24Documentation: move Documentation/virtual to Documentation/virtChristoph Hellwig
Renaming docs seems to be en vogue at the moment, so fix on of the grossly misnamed directories. We usually never use "virtual" as a shortcut for virtualization in the kernel, but always virt, as seen in the virt/ top-level directory. Fix up the documentation to match that.
