This change addresses a long-standing issue in rST documentation imported from XML.
That import process added backslash escapes in front of various characters. The three
most common being '(', ')', and '_'.
These instances are removed.

PCI Device Access for VMs
You can provide with passthrough or access to network interface cards and other devices.
Note
To use passthrough or devices, you must have Intel-VTx and Intel VT-d features enabled in the BIOS.
Note
When starting a where interfaces have binding_vif_type, the following parameter is required for the flavor, hw:mem_page_size=large enabled
where, page size is one of the following:
- small: Requests the smallest available size on the compute node, which is always 4KiB of regular memory.
- large: Requests the largest available huge page size, 1GiB or 2MiB.
- any: Requests any available size, including small pages. uses the largest available size, 1GiB, then 2MiB, and then 4KiB.
For a network interface card, you can provide access by configuring
the network interface. For more information, see Configuring PCI Passthrough
Ethernet Interfaces <configure-pci-passthrough-ethernet-interfaces>.
For other types of device, you can provide access by assigning a
alias to the device, and then referencing the alias in a flavor extra
specification. For more information, see Expose a Generic PCI Device for
Use by VMs <expose-a-generic-pci-device-for-use-by-vms> and
