Michael Kerrisk 7fac88a949 eventfd.2, futex.2, mmap2.2, open.2, pciconfig_read.2, ptrace.2, reboot.2, request_key.2, sched_rr_get_interval.2, splice.2, stat.2, sync_file_range.2, syscalls.2, timer_create.2, vm86.2, pthread_attr_setscope.3, core.5, proc.5, aio.7, futex.7, netlink.7, time.7: Global fix: "userspace" ==> "user space" or "user-space" 
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 14f5ae6dc8 Change name of 'start' argument to 'addr' for consistency with: 
* other memory related interfaces
* POSIX specification (for those interfaces in POSIX)
* Linux and glibc source code (in at least some cases)

Michael Kerrisk 257f138a5c On most platforms the unit for 'offset' is 4096 bytes, not the system page size. 
Rewrote NOTES to note that glibc mmap() wrapper nowadays
invokes this system call.

Michael Kerrisk 527d993350 After a note from Vasya Pupkin, I added <errno.h> to the SYNOPSIS 
of several Section 2 pages using the _syscallN() macros.  

    In addition:
        -- erroneous semicolons at the end of _syscallN() were removed
           on various pages.

	-- types such as "uint" in syscalN() declarations were changed
	   to "unsigined int", etc.

	-- various other minor breakages in the synopses were fixed.
