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".

capabilities.7: Various minor fixes as per Debian bug 471029
...
The relevant pieces of
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=471029 are:
- Delete duplicate subentry for KEYCTL_CHOWN/KEYCTL_SETPERM
operations in the CAP_SYS_ADMIN entry. (It feels like that
capability entry should be converted to a list, but I've left it
in semicolon-delimited form for now.)
- Remove text about ENFILE from the text about the
/proc/sys/fs/file-max limit in the CAP_SYS_ADMIN entry, since
this is already described in the man pages for the relevant
ofile-creating system calls.
- Correct or clarify a few other bits of grammar and such; see the
diff file itself for details.
