Existing pages variously use "userspace or "user space".
But, "userspace" is not quite an English word.
So change "userspace" to "user space" or, when used
attributively, "user-space".

Michael Kerrisk 98309d3fea syscalls.2: Move discussion of set_zone_reclaim(2) out of main table
This system call was never visible to user space, so it makes
sense to move it out of the main table of system calls into
the notes below the table.

Bjarni Ingi Gislason 56f2caff29 syscalls.2: Formatting fixes
From "groff -ww ..." (or "man --warnings=w ..."):

    warning: around line 157: table wider than line width

Have to use text blocks.  Move some text to its correct column.
Split text to two columns to avoid hyphenation.
