open.2: Describe race of direct read and fork() for unaligned buffers
...
This is a long standing problem (or a surprising feature) in our
implementation of get_user_pages() (used by direct IO). Since
several attempts to fix it failed (e.g.,
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2009-04/msg06542.html ,
or http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0903.1/01498.html
refused in http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/31569 )
and it's not completely clear whether we really want to fix
it given the costs. Let's at least document it.

open.2: EFBIG error is now EOVERFLOW (since Linux 2.6.24)
...
When a 32-bit app opens a file whose size is too big to be
represented in 31-bits, POSIX.1 specifies the error EOVERFLOW.
Linux used to give EFBIG for this case, but 2.6.24 fixed this.
Also, add some text to describe the error scenario in
more detail.

open.2: minor: Fix O_CLOEXEC wording re fcntl() calls

The current wording suggests that only a single fcntl()
operation is needed to set the FD_CLOEXEC flag, when "proper"
usage would be fcntl(F_GETFD) + fcntl(F_SETFD) to get the
flags and then update them. So change the wording to indicate
that more than one fcntl() operation is required.
