Performance oriented customized Linux kernel based on the mainline kernel.

While it might be really clear to MM developers that gfp reclaim modifiers are applicable only to sleepable allocations (those with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM) it seems that actual users of the API are not always sure. Make it explicit that they are not applicable for GFP_NOWAIT or GFP_ATOMIC allocations which are the most commonly used non-sleepable allocation masks.

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.
