Subject: [PATCH 4/6] time: hrtimer: use a bullet for the returns bullet list

That gets rid of this warning:

./kernel/time/hrtimer.c:1119: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.

and displays nicely both at the source code and at the produced
documentation.

So I have taken some grief for letting non-ASCII stuff into the docs
before; I can only imagine that those who object would be even more
unhappy to see it in a C source file. I'm all for fixing the warning, but
I think we shouldn't start introducing exotic characters at this point...

Thanks,

According to:
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#bullet-lists

The ASCII options are: "-", "+" or "*".

Both signs ('-' and '+') aren't too nice here, due to "-1".

So, what's left is '*'.

I remember someone once complained about having something like:

* * -1 when the ...

But if you think we shouldn't use UTF-8 chars, be it.

Feel free to replace it at the patch, or if you prefer, I'll send a new
version tomorrow.

Thanks,
Mauro

I'm fine with that.

I don't even know how to write them in the first place.

Yes, please.

And while at it please fix the subject line. The usual prefix for hrtimer
is surprisingly 'hrtimer:' and not 'time: hrtimer:'. Also please start the
short sentence after the prefix with an uppercase character.
