The current DAMON implementation requires 'min_nr_regions' to be at least 3. However, this constraint is not explicitly documented in the admin-guide documents, nor is its design rationale explained in the design document. Add a section in design.rst to explain the rationale: the virtual address space monitoring design needs to handle at least three regions to accommodate two large unmapped areas. While this is specific to 'vaddr', DAMON currently enforces it across all operation sets for consistency. Also update reclaim.rst and lru_sort.rst by adding cross-references to this constraint within their respective 'min_nr_regions' parameter description sections, ensuring users are aware of the lower bound. This change is motivated from a recent discussion [1].
