Michael Kerrisk 804f03e657 clock_nanosleep.2, execve.2, fork.2, nanosleep.2, sigaction.2, timerfd_create.2, pthread_getcpuclockid.3, ualarm.3, usleep.3, pthreads.7, time.7: Global fix: s/(3)/(2)/ in section number xrefs for timer_*() API 
The POSIX timers API is implemented (mostly) within the kernel,
so thse interfaces are system calls.  Although there are as yet
no man pages, when they are added they should be in Section 2,
not 3.  Therefore fix those pages that currently refer to these
interfaces as being in Section 3.

Andi Kleen 065c543677 capget.2: Add some details and relocate a paragraph 
While writing a little program using capset
I found the capset manpage quite light on crucial
details and I had to resort to RTFS.

This patch improves the points I found unclear
and also moves one misplaced paragraph around.
