Add missing space to fix character formatting where it was missed in two places.

2024-03-13docs/system/ppc: Document running Linux on AmigaNG machinesBALATON Zoltan
Documentation on how to run Linux on the amigaone, pegasos2 and sam460ex machines is currently buried in the depths of the qemu-devel mailing list and in the source code. Let's collect the information in the QEMU handbook for a one stop solution.

2023-07-07ppc/pnv: SMT support for powernvNicholas Piggin
Set the TIR default value with the SMT thread index, and place some standard limits on SMT configurations. Now powernv is able to boot skiboot and Linux with a SMT topology, including booting a KVM guest. There are several SPRs and other features (e.g., broadcast msgsnd) that are not implemented, but not used by OPAL or Linux and can be added incrementally.

2022-10-29hw/ppc/e500: Implement pflash handlingBernhard Beschow
Allows e500 boards to have their root file system reside on flash using only builtin devices located in the eLBC memory region. Note that the flash memory area is only created when a -pflash argument is given, and that the size is determined by the given file. The idea is to put users into control.

2022-10-28docs/system/ppc/ppce500: Use qemu-system-ppc64 across the board(s)Bernhard Beschow
The documentation suggests that there is a qemu-system-ppc32 binary while the 32 bit version is actually just named qemu-system-ppc. Settle on qemu-system-ppc64 which also works for 32 bit machines and causes less clutter in the documentation.

2021-08-02docs: Format literals correctlyPeter Maydell
In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged with a specific "role": https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text (the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets hyperlinked"). The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference", intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics). This commit fixes various places in the manual which were using single backticks when double backticks (for literal text) were intended, and covers those files where only one or two instances of these errors were made.
