Hello, Ingo!

This series contains updates to the Linux kernel's formal memory model

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
