Subject: [PATCH tools/memory-model 0/4] Documentation updates and fixes

Hello!

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.

							Thanx, Paul
