This patch series adds some documentation and fixes to the Linux-kernel memory model (LKMM): 1. Add more text to meomry-barrier.txt to de-emphasize smp_read_barrier_depends(). 2. Remove mention of the now-obsolete docker and gentoo images from README. 3. Add documentation for the new ISA2+pooncelock+pooncelock+pombonce litmus test. 4. Update the removal of rb-dep, smp_read_barrier_depends(), and lockless_dereference() to reflect feedback.
