Michael Kerrisk 73ae0a09ae + changed the "policy" parameter to "mode" through out the 
descriptions in an attempt to promote the concept that the memory
  policy is a tuple consisting of a mode and optional set of nodes.

+ added requirement to link '-lnuma' to synopsis

+ rewrite portions of description for clarification.

  ++ clarify interaction of policy with mmap()'d files.

  ++ defined how "empty set of nodes" specified and what this
     means for MPOL_PREFERRED.

  ++ mention what happens if local/target node contains no
     free memory.

  ++ clarify semantics of multiple nodes to BIND policy.
     Note:  subject to change.  We'll fix the man pages when/if
            this happens.

+ added all errors currently returned by sys call.

+ added mmap(2) to See Also list.

not already in fsync.2 has now been moved there, and
the former page has been removed.
