Hello!

This series provides additional documentation and examples for the
Linux-kernel memory model (LKMM):

1.	Provide extra ordering for unlock+lock pair on the same CPU,
	courtesy of Boqun Feng.

2.	Describe the requirement of the litmus-tests directory, courtesy
	of Boqun Feng.

3.	Add two tests for unlock(A)+lock(B) ordering, courtesy of
	Boqun Feng.

						Thanx, Paul
