[RFC PATCH 0/2] Documentation: maple_tree: Improve statements on reserved values
From: Wei-Lin Chang

Hi,
While using the maple tree and reading its documentation, I found a few
bits confusing, mainly about the reserved values. So here are some
changes hoping to make things clearer.
I am not familiar with the implementation, so I might be getting things
wrong, hence this being RFC.
While looking at the code I also found that although the doc claims the
normal API blocks reserved value stores, the code checks this using
xa_is_advanced(), which only blocks values up to 1026, not up to the max
maple tree reserved value 4094. For this part I am not sure whether the
code needs to be changed or we can also improve the doc.
Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!
