The above should be removed, as we are using KHO vmalloc that resolves
this limitation. Pratyush, I suggest for v6 let's move memfd
documnetation right into the code: memfd_luo.c and
liveupdate/abi/memfd.h, and source it from there.

Keeping documentation with the code helps reduce code/doc divergence.
