breaks line parsing. As an alternative, I tested a variant of it:
rst_parser.parse(result, document)
but still line number was not preserved. As Donald noted,
standard Parser classes don't have a direct mechanism to preserve
line numbers from ViewList().
So, instead, let's use a mechanism similar to what we do already at
kerneldoc.py: call the statemachine mechanism directly there.
I double-checked when states and statemachine were introduced:
both were back in 2002. I also tested doc build with docutils 0.16
and 0.21.2. It worked with both, so it seems to be stable enough
for our needs.
