We can; will do.

Originally, I used: 

    -F: docs/qemu-cpu-models.texi
    +F: docs/system/qemu-cpu-models.rst

as part of my v4, here:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-02/msg07165.html

But got "obsoleted" with Paolo's split of x86 & MIPS change.

Correct; will add.

Noted, will do.

Indeed.  A voice at the back of my head _did_ nag, "you're mashing this
unrelated change into the middle of .texi --> .rst series..."

Will make it a separate patch.

I'm ambivalent about it; can do it in docs/conf.py if you that is more
appropriate.

Fair enough.

I did wonder about that too; fair enough.  Will not mix it here.

Can do; I actually mentioned it in my v4 revision history, below the
"---" line
(https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-02/msg07165.html):

   - Fix author attribution as per the thread:
     Message-ID:
     <address@hidden>
     [danpb, pm215]
  
Can spell it out as part of the commit message.


In summary, to-do for v5:

  - Fix the things you pointed out in this patch here.

  - Don't mix unrelated changes with .texi --> rst conversion (undo the
    copyright year and the capitalization changes; make them separate
    patches).

  - Do the split of x86 | MIPS in a separate patch, including the change
    of moving the macros to 'defs.rst.inc'.
