Update documentation describing sysfs node that could help to
configure isolation strategy for users in the user space. And
describing sysfs node that could read the device isolated state.

July was a while ago, you sent this patch in August :(

Does the date in the sysfs documentation files serve any purpose besides making
people have to update their patchsets every month?

The kernel version number would be more useful to readers of the documentation,
and it wouldn't have to be updated quite as often.

True, I have seen people use that instead, or no date at all, I don't
require it.  But if you do put the field in there, it should at least be
correct :)
