Jonas Oberhauser fafa180683 tools/memory-model: Switch to softcoded herd7 tags
A new version of herd7 provides a -lkmmv2 switch which overrides the old herd7
behavior of simply ignoring any softcoded tags in the .def and .bell files. We
port LKMM to this version of herd7 by providing the switch in linux-kernel.cfg
and reporting an error if the LKMM is used without this switch.

To preserve the semantics of LKMM, we also softcode the Noreturn tag on atomic
RMW which do not return a value and define atomic_add_unless with an Mb tag in
linux-kernel.def.

We update the herd-representation.txt accordingly and clarify some of the
resulting combinations.

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 reStructuredText 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.
