Michael Kerrisk 9173d897ee fd.4: Fix floppy disk device names 
The naming convention shown in the page was ancient.
Now, the page is consistent with Documentation/devices.txt
(where it is noted that "The use of the capital letters
D, H and E for the 3.5" models have been deprecated, since
the drive type is insignificant for these devices"

Andy Lutomirski 7dee406bc4 link.2, open.2: Update AT_EMPTY_PATH and O_PATH documentation 
The current text reflects the general worry in the kernel about
recipients of O_PATH fds being able to hardlink the referenced
files.  It turns out that it was possible to link these files
regardless of any possible security concerns.

Linux 3.11 removes the capability check in AT_EMPTY_PATH.
I expect that this functionality will be generally useful,
so let's document it better.

Michael Kerrisk 4a9c7a5ecb create_module.2, delete_module.2, init_module.2, query_module.2: Clarify glibc header file declaration/ABI wrapper details 
create_module(), delete_module(), init_module(), and
query_module() are not declared in header files, but
through an accident of history glibc provides an ABI
for them that it continues to maintain, for
compatibility reasons.
