Akira Yokosawa d075a78a5a tools/memory-model/README: Expand dependency of klitmus7
klitmus7 is independent of the memory model but depends on the
build-target kernel release.
It occasionally lost compatibility due to kernel API changes [1, 2, 3].
It was remedied in a backwards-compatible manner respectively [4, 5, 6].

Reflect this fact in README.

NOTE: [5] was ahead of herdtools7 7.53, which did not make an
official release.  Code generated by klitmus7 without [5] can still be
built targeting Linux 4.20--5.5 if you don't care VLA warnings.

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.
