[PATCH 1/2] MAINTAINERS: MEMORY MANAGEMENT - MGLRU (MULTI-GEN LRU) update

[David Hildenbrand (Arm)]

MGLRU is currently the only MM component without a dedicated component
maintainer. Fortunately, Kairui and Barry have been actively
contributing to MGLRU and have volunteered to take on more responsibility
by officially taking care of it.

Given that Kairui is already an established MM component maintainer in
a related MM component (SWAP), add him as an MGLRU maintainer right away.

For Barry, the idea is to transition him towards a component maintainer
role over the coming months, starting by moving him to the top of the
reviewer list.

Yay, thanks guys.  It's been wonderful to see the rebirth of MGLRU over
the past ~year.

When do we get to remove the legacy LRU???

[PATCH 2/2] MAINTAINERS: remove myself from MEMORY MANAGEMENT - RECLAIM

[David Hildenbrand (Arm)]

I don't really get to look at most reclaim related stuff. For things
that are actually relevant for me, I'm sure people will CC me.

So remove myself from the MEMORY MANAGEMENT - RECLAIM section for now
to have a bit less noise in my inbox.
