[PATCH v12 6/6] docs: mm: numaperf.rst Add brief description for access class 1.

From: Jonathan Cameron
Date: Wed Sep 30 2020 - 10:11:15 EST


Try to make minimal changes to the document which already describes
access class 0 in a generic fashion (including IO initiatiors that
are not CPUs).

+The access class "1" is used to allow differentiation between initiators

+IO initiators such as GPUs and NICs. Unlike access class 0, only
