Subject: [PATCH 0/7] docs/vm: update KSM documentation

Hi,

These patches extend KSM documentation with high level design overview and
some details about reverse mappings and split the userspace interface
description to Documentation/admin-guide/mm.

The description of some KSM sysfs attributes is changed so that it won't
include implementation detail. The description of these implementation
details are moved to the new "Design" section.

The last patch in the series depends on the patchset that create
Documentation/admin-guide/mm [1], all the rest applies cleanly to the
current docs-next.
