Subject: [PATCH 7/7] mm: update lazy_mmu documentation
Date: Thu,  4 Sep 2025 13:57:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250904125736.3918646-8-kevin.brodsky@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250904125736.3918646-1-kevin.brodsky@arm.com>

We now support nested lazy_mmu sections on all architectures
implementing the API. Update the API comment accordingly.
