Subject[PATCH 6/7] docs/admin-guide/mm: start moving here files from Documentation/vm
Date
Several documents in Documentation/vm fit quite well into the "admin/user
guide" category. The documents that don't overload the reader with lots of
implementation details and provide coherent description of certain feature
can be moved to Documentation/admin-guide/mm.
