For rST, '*' is a kind of inline markup (for emphasis), so
"*-softmmu" is a syntax error because of the missing closing '*'.
Escape the '*' with a '\'.
The texinfo document generator will leave the '\' in the
output, which is not ideal, but that generator is going to
go away in a subsequent commit.
