Subject: [PATCH] tools/memory-model: Update required version of herdtools7

Code generated by klitmus7 version 7.48 doesn't compile with kernel
header of 4.15 and later due to the absence of ACCESS_ONCE().
As the issue has been resolved in herdtools7 7.49, bump the required
version number in README.

Hi Paul,

I think this is a 4.17 matter.
Thoughts?

        Thanks, Akira

Good catch, queued and pushed, thank you!

I don't believe that this needs to go into the current merge window,
given that there is an easy workaround and that people running into this
will likely find your patch via web-seach, at which point they can update
their herdtools.  But it should definitely go into v4.18!

							Thanx, Paul
