Doc Text:
.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.

Description dbodnarc 2019-07-17 13:46:02 UTC 
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:
