PATCH 1/2 documentation: proc: add /proc/pid/numa_maps interface explanation snippet

This patch adds a small section to proc.txt doc in order to document its /proc/pid/numa_maps interface. It does not introduce any functional changes, just documentation.

PATCH 2/2 fs: proc: task_mmu: bump kernelpagesize_kB to EOL in /proc/pid/numa_maps

In reply to Rafael Aquini

Commit "4dd025c fs: proc: task_mmu: show page size in /proc/<pid>/numa_maps" (linux-next) introduces 'kernelpagesize_kB' to numa_maps proc interface. This patch, per Andrew Morton suggestion, switchs 'kernelpagesize_kB' position to EOL in /proc/<pid>/numa_maps to potentially avoid causing trouble to any existent parser that expects numa_maps file line previous layout.
