Genalloc/genpool has kerneldoc comments, but nothing has ever been pulled
into the docs themselves.  Here's a first attempt, repurposed from an
article I wrote at https://lwn.net/Articles/729653/.

NUMA rework of workqueue made the combination of max_active of 1 and
WQ_UNBOUND insufficient to guarantee ST behavior system wide.

alloc_ordered_queue should now be used instead.
