Subject: Docs/mm/damon/design: explicitly introduce ``nr_accesses``
Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2023 02:29:22 +0000
The design document is explaining about the access tracking mechanism
and the access rate counter (nr_accesses), but not directly mentions the
name. Add a sentence for making it clear.

This scheme, however, cannot preserve the quality of the output if the
