Michael Kerrisk 2e7cb1f8f1 intro.1: Drop intro paragraph on '$?' shell variable 
As Andries notes, this piece of text is rather out of place in
a page that was intended to provide a tutorial introduction for
beginners logging in on a Linux system.

NeilBrown 4b06376957 pty.7: Clarify asynchronous nature of PTY I/O 
A PTY is not like a pipe - there may be delayed between data
being written at one end and it being available at the other.

This became particularly apparent after
     commit f95499c3030f
    ("n_tty: Don't wait for buffer work in read() loop")
in Linux 3.12

Brice Goglin 856778162b get_mempolicy.2, set_mempolicy: Policy is per thread, not per process 
set/get_mempolicy manpages say that the memory allocation
policy is per process while reading the code and testing shows
that it's actually per thread.  Here's a quick fix, which may
need to be improved to better explain that we're allocating
in the context of a thread within a process address space.
