Okay, thanks for your feedback.

I reindented intel_pstate as you said and I can still see the whole
description for the 'advanced' option is going past the 80-column mark.

I'll leave it indented with two spaces for this patch.
If you wish I can make a separate patch that addresses 80-column overrun
for intel_pstate.

I'll indent the nohrst,... section like rstonce.

Does that sound good to you?
