Hello, Ingo!

This series contains updates to the Linux kernel's formal memory model
in tools/memory-model, along with corresponding changes in documentation
and Linux-kernel code. These patches are ready for inclusion into -tip.

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
