Hugh Dickins c36f6e6dff mempolicy trivia: slightly more consistent naming
Before getting down to work, do a little cleanup, mainly of inconsistent
variable naming.  I gave up trying to rationalize mpol versus pol versus
policy, and node versus nid, but let's avoid p and nd.  Remove a few
superfluous blank lines, but add one; and here prefer vma->vm_policy to
vma_policy(vma) - the latter being appropriate in other sources, which
have to allow for !CONFIG_NUMA.  That intriguing line about KERNEL_DS? 
should have gone in v2.6.15, when numa_policy_init() stopped using
set_mempolicy(2)'s system call handler.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
