docs: nvdimm: use ReST notation for subsection

The ACPI Device Specific Methods (_DSM) paragraph is intended to be a
subsection of the Submit Checklist Addendum section. Dan Williams however
used Markdown notation for this subsection, which does not parse as
intended in a ReST documentation.

Change the markup to ReST notation, as described in the Specific
guidelines for the kernel documentation section in
Documentation/doc-guide/sphinx.rst.

Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"Here are the main documentation changes for 5.5:

- Various kerneldoc script enhancements.

- More RST conversions; those are slowing down as we run out of
things to convert, but we're a ways from done still.

- Dan's "maintainer profile entry" work landed at last. Now we just
need to get maintainers to fill in the profiles...

- A reworking of the parallel build setup to work better with a
variety of systems (and to not take over huge systems entirely in
particular).

- The MAINTAINERS file is now converted to RST during the build.
Hopefully nobody ever tries to print this thing, or they will need
to load a lot of paper.

- A script and documentation making it easy for maintainers to add
Link: tags at commit time.

Also included is the removal of a bunch of spurious CR characters"

Merge branch 'maintainer-profile' into docs-next

Patch series from Dan Williams:

At last years Plumbers Conference I proposed the Maintainer Entry
Profile as a document that a maintainer can provide to set contributor
expectations and provide fodder for a discussion between maintainers
about the merits of different maintainer policies.

For those that did not attend, the goal of the Maintainer Entry Profile
is to provide contributors documentation of patch submission
considerations that may vary by subsystem. The session introduction was:

The first rule of kernel maintenance is that there are no hard and
fast rules. That state of affairs is both a blessing and a curse. It
has served the community well to be adaptable to the different
people and different problem spaces that inhabit the kernel
community. However, that variability also leads to inconsistent
experiences for contributors, little to no guidance for new
contributors, and unnecessary stress on current maintainers.

To be clear, the proposed document does not impose or suggest new rules.
Instead it provides an outlet to document the existing unwritten
policies in effect for a given subsystem. Over time the hope is that
some of this variability can be up-levelled to new global process
policy, but in the meantime it provides relief for communicating the
guidelines that are being imposed on contributors.

[jc: resolved merge conflicts with the MAINTAINERS file, added a patch
to fix up various RST issues, and added a TOC section for the
profiles.]
