icmp.7, ipv6.7, packet.7, raw.7, rtnetlink.7, unix.7, x25.7: Remove names of constants from NAME line
...
Some of the sockets/network protocol pages included names of
the corresponding address family constants in the NAME line,
but this wasn't done consistently across all pages, and probably
it adds little value in those pages that did do this. So, remove
these constants from those pages that have them in the NAME
section.

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.
