From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>

New lines are not respected when rst2man generates the page so try to work
around that by followin advice from the Internet.

v2:
 * Improve some wording.
 * Tidy -o option description.
 * Update dates.
 * Convert the filter list to table.

 **intel_gpu_top** is a tool to display usage information on Intel GPU's.
 
-The tool gathers data using perf performance counters (PMU) exposed by i915 and other platform drivers like RAPL (power) and Uncore IMC (memory bandwidth).

 DEVICE SELECTION
 ================
 
-User can select specific GPU for performance monitoring on platform where multiple GPUs are available.
-A GPU can be selected by sysfs path, drm node or using various PCI sub filters.

-Filter types: ::

-    filter   syntax

-    sys      sys:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0
-             find device by its sysfs path
-
-    drm      drm:/dev/dri/* path
-             find drm device by /dev/dri/* node
+On systems where multiple GPUs are present it is possible to select a specific GPU to be monitored. A GPU can be selected by sysfs path, drm device node or using various PCI sub filters.
 
-    pci      pci:[vendor=%04x/name][,device=%04x][,card=%d]
-             vendor is hex number or vendor name
