Changes to individual pages ---------------------------
mount.2 mtk, after a note by Sam Morris Clarify that MS_NODIRATIME provides a subset of the functionality provided by MS_NOATIME.
spu_create.2 Jeremy Kerr We can use context FDs for the dirfd argument to the *at() syscalls.
times.2 mtk, after a note from David Brown and Andrew Morton http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119447727031225&w=2 Rework the text describing the return value to be closer to the requirements of POSIX.1; move Linux details to NOTES and add a warning not to rely on those details. Add a warning about the -1 to -4095 bug which results in a 41 second window where the glibc wrapper will wrongly return -1 indicating an error.
vcs.4 Samuel Thibault Document VT_GETHIFONTMASK (new in 2.6.18) and add to example program; spufs.7 Jeremy Kerr Add a little information about the differences to mbox.
