Subject[PATCH v8 6/6] docs: mm: numaperf.rst Add brief description for access class 1.
Date
Try to make minimal changes to the document which already describes
access class 0 in a generic fashion (including IO initiatiors that
are not CPUs).

+The access class "1" is used to allow differentiation between initiators
+that are CPUs and hence suitable for generic task scheduling, and
+IO initiators such as GPUs and NICs. Unlike access class 0, only
