Elie De Brauwer 4f747ba0b2 proc.5: Document /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory 
Since 2.6.36 [1] CONFIG_COMPACTION is supported in Linux (for a
detailed explanation see [2]). But in essence the contents of
/proc/buddyinfo shows how much contiguous areas of a certain
size are available. These numbers are not actually up to date
as the Linux kernel will implicitly trigger compaction
(+- defragmentation) when an allocation is done.  This makes it
difficult since you can't predict upfront whether or not a large
allocation will succeed or not.  By using
/proc/sys/vm/compact_memory you can explicitly trigger compaction
to occur and /proc/buddyinfo will give a more realistic view on
the available memory in contiguous areas.

This patch updates proc.5 to explain the usage of this file and is
inspired by Documentation/systcl/vm.txt [3]

Jan Chaloupka f246d84728 resolv.conf.5: Add missing no-tld-query option 
Based on commit [1], ithe no-tld-query option exists for
resolv.conf configuration file.  Description of this option
is provided in [2]. This patch just copies this option
into resolv.conf.5 man page. Plus changes 'a' member
into 'an' before 'unqualified name as if it ...'
on the third line of [2]. Based on [3], this option
was added in glibc 2.14 as solving [4] bug.
