    tools/memory-model: Clarify the origin/scope of the tool name · 48d44d4e
    Andrea Parri authored Feb 20, 2018
    
    
    Ingo pointed out that:
    
      "The "memory model" name is overly generic, ambiguous and somewhat
       misleading, as we usually mean the virtual memory layout/model
       when we say "memory model". GCC too uses it in that sense [...]"
    
    Make it clear that tools/memory-model/ uses the term "memory model" as
    shorthand for "memory consistency model" by calling out this convention
    in tools/memory-model/README.
    
    Stick to the original "memory model" term in sources' headers and for
    the subsystem name.
