The documentation LGTM.

The nested list above should be separated with blank lines to be

 2. Gunyah raises the corresponding interrupt for VM_B when any of these happens:
+
    a. gh_msgq_send has PUSH flag. Queue is immediately flushed. This is the typical case.
    b. Explicility with gh_msgq_push command from VM_A.

 For VM_B to send a message to VM_A, the process is identical, except that hypercalls

Thanks.
