.The `numactl` manual entry clarifies the memory usage output
With this release of RHEL 8, the manual page for `numactl` explicitly mentions that the memory usage information reflects only the resident pages on the system. The reason for this addition is to eliminate potential confusion for users whether the memory usage information relates to resident pages or virtual memory.

The man page gives no hint about whether memory usage information relates to resident pages or virtual memory. The answer may not be obvious to the user, so explicitly mention that only resident pages are counted. We would like to backport the following commit: > https://github.com/numactl/numactl/pull/70
