mmap.2: Add note about partial page in BUGS section
...
This adds a note about Linux behavior with partial page at the end
of the object. The problem here is that a page that contains only
part of a file (because the file size is not multiple of PAGE_SIZE)
stays in page cache even after the mapping is unmapped and the file
is closed. So if some process dirties such page, other mappings
will see the changes rather than zeroes.
I've also attached a reproducer which is a stripped down version of
the LTP test. The child creates a file of the size of PAGE_SIZE/2,
maps it, changes the content after the PAGE_SIZE/2. The parent
waits for the child to exit, maps the same file, and checks the
content after PAGE_SIZE/2. Uncommenting the msync() makes the test
succeed.

mmap.2: Loosen language around how 'addr' hint is interpreted
...
Mel Gorman reported that in Linux 2.6.27, 'addr' is rounded
down to a page boundary.
Before kernel 2.6.26, if 'addr' was taken as a hint, it was
rounded up to the next page boundary. Since Linux 2.6.24,
it is rounded down. Therefore, loosen the description of
this point to say that the address is rounded to "a nearby
page boundary".
