Michael Kerrisk 143f4ec383 semget.2: Consolidate discussion on noninitialization of semaphores 
The fact that semget() does not initialize the semaphores
in a new set was covered in two places (in DESCRIPTION
and BUGS). Consolidate these into one place (in NOTES)
and also point out that POSIX.1-2008 says that a future
version of the standard may require an implementation to
initialize the semaphores to 0.

Peter Schiffer e6042e4ad2 open.2: Update note on alignment of user buffer and file offset for O_DIRECT 
The sentence in open(2) man page in notes for O_DIRECT flag:

    "Under Linux 2.6, alignment to 512-byte boundaries suffices."

is not universally correct. The alignment is a property of the
storage, for example, 4k-sector drives with no 512 byte sector
emulation will be unable to perform 512-byte direct I/O.

The patch clarifies this sentence.

Michael Kerrisk 840324c0d5 msync.2: s/flushes... back to disk/flushes... back to filesystem/ 
As noted by Heinrich:

    The manpage of msync(2) says:
        "msync() flushes changes made to the in-core copy of a file
        that was mapped into memory using mmap(2) back to disk."
    ...
    "back to disk" implies that the file system is forced to
    actually write to the hard disk, somewhat equivalent to
    invoking sync(1).  Is that guaranteed for all file systems?

    Not all file systems are necessarily disk based
    (e.g. davfs, tmpfs).

    So shouldn't we write:
        "... back to the file system."

    http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904875/functions/msync.html
    says "... to permanent storage locations, if any,"
