rST parses something like
first line
second line
as a definition list item, where "first line" is the term being
defined by "second line".
This bites us in a couple of places. Here's one:
# @bps_max: total throughput limit during bursts,
# in bytes (Since 1.7)
scripts/qapi/parser.py parses this into an "argument section" with
name "bps_max" and text
total throughput limit during bursts,
in bytes (Since 1.7)
docs/sphinx/qapidoc.py duly passes the text to the rST parser, which
parses it as another definition list. Comes out as nested
definitions: term "bps_max: int (optional)" defined as term "total
throughput limit during bursts," defined as "in bytes (Since 1.7)".
rST truly is the Perl of ASCII-based markups.
Fix by deleting the extra indentation.
Fixes: 26ec4e53f2 (qapi: Fix indent level on doc comments in json files)
Fixes: c0ac533b6f (qapi: Stop using whitespace for alignment in comments)
Fixes: 81ad2964e9 (net/vmnet: add vmnet backends to qapi/net)
