I've finally gotten to this, sorry for taking so long. Applying it to
docs-next turned out to be a bit of a chore; there have been intervening
changes to vfs.txt that we didn't want to lose. But I did it.

Unfortunately, there's still a remaining issue. You did a lot of list
conversions like this:

> - struct file_system_type *fs_type: describes the filesystem, partly initialized
> +``struct file_system_type *fs_type``: describes the filesystem, partly initialized
> by the specific filesystem code

but that does not render the way you would like, trust me. You really
want to use the list format, something like:

``struct file_system_type *fs_type``
describes the filesystem, partly initialized by the specific
filesystem code

There are, unfortunately, a lot of these to fix... I bet it could be done
with an elisp function, but I don't have time to beat my head against that
wall right now.

Any chance you would have time to send me a followup patch fixing these
up? I'll keep my branch with this set for now so there's no need to
rebase those.

Thanks,
