This patch makes some slight alterations to linux-kernel.cat in preparation for adding support for data-race detection to the Linux-Kernel Memory Model. The definitions of relations involved in Acquire, Release, and unlock-lock ordering are moved up earlier in the source file. The rmb relation is factored through the new R4rmb class: the class of reads to which rmb will apply. The definition of the fence relation is moved earlier, and it is split up into read- and write-fences (rmb and wmb) and all the others. This should not make any functional changes.

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.
