Subject: Docs/damon: move DAMOS filter type names and meaning to design doc
Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2025 14:37:06 -0800
DAMON sysfs usage doc is describing DAMOS filter type names and their
meanings in short. The design doc is providing the short meaning and
detailed descriptions, too. This is unnecessary duplicates and confuses
where to document new DAMOS filter types and features. Move the details
from usage to design doc.

Each filter directory contains nine files, namely ``type``, ``matching``,
