2007-10-16	Mem Policy: add MPOL_F_MEMS_ALLOWED get_mempolicy() flag	Lee Schermerhorn
	Allow an application to query the memories allowed by its context. Updated numa_memory_policy.txt to mention that applications can use this to obtain allowed memories for constructing valid policies. TODO: update out-of-tree libnuma wrapper[s], or maybe add a new wrapper--e.g., numa_get_mems_allowed() ? Also, update numa syscall man pages. Tested with memtoy V>=0.13.

2007-08-22	Document Linux Memory Policy	Lee Schermerhorn
	I couldn't find any memory policy documentation in the Documentation directory, so here is my attempt to document it. There's lots more that could be written about the internal design--including data structures, functions, etc. However, if you agree that this is better that the nothing that exists now, perhaps it could be merged. This will provide a baseline for updates to document the many policy patches that are currently being worked.
