DAMOS' regions walking is a feature for efficiently retrieving monitoring
results or DAMOS-internal behavior. It can be useful for multiple
purposes including investigations and tuning. Add a section for it on the
design document.

+Regions Walking
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+DAMOS feature allowing users access each region that a DAMOS action has just
+applied. Using this feature, DAMON :ref:`API <damon_design_api>` allows users
+access full properties of the regions including the access monitoring results.
+:ref:`DAMON sysfs interface <sysfs_interface>` also allows users read the data
+via special :ref:`files <sysfs_schemes_tried_regions>`.
