Already two people (including me) tried to offline subsections, because the function looks like it can deal with it. But we really can only online/offline full sections that are properly aligned (e.g., we can only mark full sections online/offline via SECTION_IS_ONLINE). Add a simple safety net to document the restriction now. Current users (core and powernv/memtrace) respect these restrictions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
