Subject: [PATCH memory-model 0/5] Updates to the formal memory model

Hello, Ingo!

This series contains updates to the Linux kernel's formal memory model
in tools/memory-model, along with corresponding changes in documentation
and Linux-kernel code.  These patches are ready for inclusion into -tip.

1.	Document litmus-test naming scheme.

2.	Add extra ordering for locks and remove it for ordinary
	release/acquire, courtesy of Alan Stern.

3.	Fix a README typo, courtesy of SeongJae Park.

4.	Expand the list of LKMM limitations.

5.	Replace smp_cond_acquire() with smp_cond_load_acquire(),
	courtesy of Andrea Parri.

							Thanx, Paul
