Subject: [PATCH] Document awk requirements

Hello,
current -git kernel fails to build with this error message:

  GEN     arch/x86/lib/inat-tables.c
  Error: Your awk doesn't support charactor-class.

mawk is installed; it appears that gawk is required, so:
---
Gnu awk is required for generating arch/x86/lib/inat-tables.c
