| Subject: [PATCH 29/30] Documentation: Correct the possible MDS sysfs values |
| |
| commit ea01668f9f43021b28b3f4d5ffad50106a1e1301 upstream |
| |
| Adjust the last two rows in the table that display possible values when |
| MDS mitigation is enabled. They both were slightly innacurate. |
| |
| In addition, convert the table of possible values and their descriptions |
| to a list-table. The simple table format uses the top border of equals |
| signs to determine cell width which resulted in the first column being |
| far too wide in comparison to the second column that contained the |
| majority of the text. |
