Michael Kerrisk 2965fbf165 getxattr.2, removexattr.2, setxattr.2: Note that ENOATTR is a synonym for ENODATA 
Various people have pointed out that strace(1) shows ENODATA
for the case where the named attribute does not exist, or
the process has no access to this attribute. ENODATA
and ENOATTR are in fact defined as synonyms. Point this out
in the man page, so that people understand the strace(1) info.

Elie De Brauwer bbb9456ec4 recvmmsg.2: Add/correct kernel version info for recvmmsg() and MSG_WAITFORNONE 
This patch isolates the since/version related fixes as requested.
This change introduces the following delta:
 * The page states it was added in 2.6.32 but it is only added
    2.6.33 (ref: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_33)
 * The MSG_WAITFORONE flag was in turn only added in 2.6.34
   (ref: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_34)
