Sure.  How about as follows:

diff --git a/tools/memory-model/Documentation/herd-representation.txt b/tools/memory-model/Documentation/herd-representation.txt
index 2fe270e902635..8255a2ff62e5f 100644

+#	rmw,	a Read-Modify-Write link; every rmw link is a po link

 # By convention, a blank entry/representation means "same as the preceding entry".

I can respin the patch shortly to add something along these lines and
