Subject: [PATCH 2/2] MAINTAINERS: list file memory-barriers.txt within the LKMM entry

Now that a formal specification of the LKMM has become available to
the developer, some concern about how to track changes to the model
on the level of the "high-level documentation" was raised.

A first "mitigation" to this issue, suggested by Will, is to assign
maintainership (and responsibility!!)  of such documentation (here,
memory-barriers.txt) to the maintainers of the LKMM themselves.

Suggested-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@....com>
