Add comments explaining the fields for maple_metadata, since "end" is ambiguous and "gap" can be confused as the largest gap, whereas it is actually the offset of the largest gap. Add comment for mas_ascend() to explain, whose min and max we are trying to find. Explain that, for example, if we are already on offset zero, then the parent min is mas->min, otherwise we need to walk up to find the implied pivot min.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
